Why are kids motivated to use anabolic steroids and other appearance and performance enhancing drugs?
Recent studies by university scientists show that the top 3 reasons cited by people for first time use of anabolic steroids are: • Improve physical appearance/body image • To feel better about myself • Improve athletic performance Conclusion: anabolic steroids are not just being used by athletes any more. We estimate that about half of the users are what we call “mirror athletes”. These user want to “look like” the athletes do, but have no interest in competing on the athletic field.
