Abstract
Anabolic-androgenic steroid hormones can enhance muscular strength and size in athletes. However, deleterious side effects include transient sterility, gynecomastia, acne, balding, psychological changes, and possibly increased risks of heart disease and liver tumors. These drugs are banned by most sports organizations.
