I recently came across a good study highlighting the comparison of men abusing anabolic steroids in sports. The results were shocking.

1. As compared to normal male, anabolic steroid abusers had a three times higher chance of death over the same period of time.
2. Infertility was twice as common among the abusers as compared to normal men.
3. The risk of erectile dysfunction was three times higher.
4. The risk of heart disease was three times and risk of stroke and heart attack was 5 times.
5. The risk of acne and gynecomastia was 13 times.

So my sincere request to all the bodybuilders, physique athletes, both aspiring and professionals, don't screw up your future for an aesthetic present. 

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
