I am going to research steroid use in sports. Steroid use is all over all levels of sports from the high school level all the way up to the professional levels. You hear about high profile professional athletes getting caught using illegal steroids to boost their performances but it is also being used at lower levels to get bigger, stronger and faster more quickly. Every athlete wants that edge over the opponent but not to many want to work to get there. Steroid use gives them that edge without having to put forth the work that is required. Not only are steroids illegal but they are dangerous to the health of the individual using. You see the once popular star athlete fall from that stardom because they once used steroids. I will go about researching this topic by interviewing athletes and adults who are close to athletics. I will see how people think about the use of illegal steroids and get their opinion of why athletes use. I will use the adults who have been around sports for much longer than I have and get their opinion on the growth of steroid use over time.
