A study highlighted by New Scientist reveals that anabolic steroids can significantly boost athletic performance in just a few weeks. Researchers found that individuals using steroids experienced rapid increases in muscle mass, strength, and endurance—even without intense training. This chaallenges the belief that long-term use is necessary for noticeable effects.
The study raises concerns about fairness in sports, as even short-term steroid use can provide a lasting competitive edge. Experts warn of serious health risks, including hormonal imbalances, heart issues, and liver damage. Despite strict anti-doping regulations, the temptation for quick gains continues to drive steroid use in athletics and bodybuilding.
