The vast majority of educated people, aged 30, are consuming non-medical anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) to look attractive and physically self improved. Most of them are non athletes and according to the survey have never been on steroids in their adolescence. The AAS users have lot of benefits such as increase in muscle mass, strength, and physical attractiveness in males; it also includes increased confidence, decreased fat, improved mood and attraction of sexual partners.
Unlike other drug abusers, AAS users are much more conscious about their health. They have a proper routine to follow for their diet and remarkably different lifestyle. Also they do not have a loss of control over their senses like the ones who consume heroin and cocaine etc.
From Science Daily:
The majority of non-medical anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) users are not cheating athletes or risk-taking teenagers. According to a recent survey, containing the largest sample to date the typical male user is about 30 years old, well-educated, and earning an above-average income in a white-collar occupation. The majority did not use steroids during adolescence and were not motivated by athletic competition or sports performance.
The study concludes that these AAS users are a driven and ambitious group dedicated to gym attendance, diet, occupational goals and educational attainment. “The users we surveyed consider that they are using directed drug technology as one part of a strategy for physical self-improvement within a health-centered lifestyle,” said Collins.
The AAS users were regarded as cheaters to the athletes, although they never use to create competition with them. Therefore a public policy should be issued in order to regulate the use of steroids among the masses. This was stated by Collins who responded to the survey conducted to know the number of adults presently using AAS.
