Anabolic steroid abuse has become a national
concern. These drugs
are used illicitly by weight lifters, body builders, long distance
runners,
cyclists and others who claim that these drugs give them a competitive
advantage and/or improve their physical appearance. Once viewed
as a problem associated only with professional athletes, recent
reports estimate that 5 percent to 12 percent of male high school
students and 1 percent of female students have used anabolic
steroids by the time they were seniors.
