Steroids in Olympic Sports

Anabolic steroids were first developed in the 1930s and were originally designed as hormone replacement drugs to help treating patients who were not able to produce enough testosterones.

However these drugs could also boost male hormone production in healthy people as well and this had a knock on effect of dramatically increasing muscle density and strength when combined with fitness training, and so athletes began using anabolic steroids in order to improve their performance. But in 1970’s that steroids were banned from the Olympics, and a full scale drug testing program was introduced by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at that time.

But nowadays there is medicines which could help you in getting more results in your training without causing much side effects like steroids. One of them is clenbuterol (often called just “Clen”) is used by athletes and bodybuilders for it’s ability as a beta-2 agonist. It therefore stimulates your beta-2 receptors, which in turn help you to lose fat by allowing your body to release and burn more stored fat.

And the other one is deca-durabolin is a standout steroid which interacts with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, an androgen that is more potent than its parent hormone testosterone in causing androgenic side effects. And now, athletes and body builders are back to buy steroids which could help them in getting the maximum result without too much side effects.
