Well, not really. There have been many players to take steroids to help them build muscle, and improve their performance, but it is not allowed. You are not allowed to take steroids into sports, but many people do. For example, Alex Rodriguez "A-Rod", the 3rd basemen for the New York Yankees took steroids in 2009. He confessed that he took steroids, so they allowed him to stay in MLB. Although, if they were to catch him red-handed, he most likely would have been taken off of the NYY, and sent home.

Should steroid use be allowed in professional sports?
Well, that question brings a few other important questions to the table and I'm not so sure it can be answered with a simple yes or no. There are many myths that are both misleading and most are downright untrue.FACT: to date. not 1 death has been directly caused by anabolic steroid abuse in the medical community.FACT: Anabolic steroids did not even make the top 100 list of the harmful drug "classificiations". They were at 144 in the mid 1990's. So analyze that statement closely, not the 144 most dangerous drug , the most dangerous drug classification. Daily multivitamins, childrens vitamins and even aspirin were in the top 50.FACT: Lyle Alzado DID NOT die of a steroid related death. The coroner made a very clear statement saying he seen no link between the anabolic steroid use and Mr. Alzado's brain tumor.FACT: Marijuana, cigarettes, alcohol and even aspirin are far more toxic that anabolic steroids.FACT: Anabolic steroids work, and they certainly serve a medical purpose.Myth: it will shrink your penis (in fact quite the opposite is true), it does temperarily shrink your testicles.Here's a thought, every pro level bodybuilder takes 1000's of milligrams a week of anabolic steroids for decades on end. Where are the dead bodies?Yes, steroids should be legal. It's a matter of personal choice just as choosing to smoke cigarettes or eating a cheeseburger. Most of the adverse health claims made by some organizations have absolutely no clinical evidence to back any of their claims. Anabolic androgenic steroids greatly improve the lives of people with muscle wasting diseases because they improve a person's human body, not the opposite. When made illegal in 1993, the American Medical Association, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Food and Drug Administration ALL OPPOSED making steroids an illegal schedule 3 controlled substance. When made illegal in 1993, the American Medical Association, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Food and Drug Administration ALL OPPOSED making steroids an illegal schedule 3 controlled substance. Remember that steroids are produced from male hormones, just as birth control are made from female hormones. They should be legal.Some steroids are legal and some steroids are not legal. Generally the steroids which has a side effect is not legal steroid because generally it is harmful. And some steroids which is really effects good on the body is legal steroids.They need to make weed legal too(just a thought).
