Should steroids in athletics be banned?

Taking steroids is harmful to the human body. A person should be happy with what they have; taking something that makes the body generate a large mass amount of energy only makes them feel good about themselves temporarily. As soon as the effects wear off, the individual taking it will continue to take it in order to gain that feeling again.
It is up to the individual to make that decision similar to taking illegal drugs. Even when the laws states something is illegal, people nevertheless continues to do it, steroids are not but are in the same category as heroin and cocaine in my definition. The most important thing here is not taking steroids but prevent children and teens from taking it. The professional athletes they set an example to the younger generation, children tends to imitate their role models and when someone does something that is wrong, children and teens will normally follow in their footstep.
In every drug there is a side effect, I am however not certain what the effects of steroid does but it probably wouldn’t be pleasant. Drugs are invented to help the body recover from illness or diseases. People shouldn’t take something when they have absolutely nothing wrong with their body; just because one dislikes his or her physical shape they shouldn’t take something that might change that. God gave us our body for a reason and we should be happy, but that’s not true 90% of the time.
What does one gain from an increase amount of strength and agility? It is based on talents and the individual playing the sport and not some drug that will make everything go well, that is a common misinterpretation and misunderstanding of steroids. Since steroids are legal and can be purchased almost anywhere, people tend to see it as a common drug that is okay to use. Like heroins and other addictive drug, steroids play some kind of addiction on the host as well. When someone is receiving a lot of compliment because they’re taking steroids to make them stronger, they will continue to take it in hope of receiving that compliment even more. Who would want the compliments to stop? Steroids are more of a drug that deals with mental addiction as oppose to physical addiction.
Because people are always so negative believing they are weak and unable to do something, taking steroids is an incentive for them. But in reality it is all in their imagination, a individual will do good in whatever they’re interested in but when they don’t have faith they will almost absolutely not do well on it. Sports are supposed to be fun and see what each individual can do; instead people turn it into something far more important than they should be. It is an exercise and an activity, and now the society has changed it to competition.
