9.ATOD.1: Understand the health risks associated with alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use.

General Facts Once viewed as a problem strictly associated with body

builders, fitness "buffs," and professional athletes, the abuse of steroids is prevalent in today’s society.

This is an alarming problem because of increased abuse over the years, and the ready availability of steroids and steroid related products.

The problem is widespread throughout society including school-age children, athletes, fitness "buffs," business professionals, etc.

Teenagers are the leading group of steroid users due to body appearance – 1/3 are not athletes

Both males and females abuse steroids.

What do studies show? The national institute on drug abuse (NIDA)

estimates that more than a half million 8th and 10th grade students are now using these dangerous drugs, and increasing numbers of high school seniors don’t believe steroids are risky.

Another study indicated that 1,084,000 Americans, or 0.5 percent of the adult population, said that they had used anabolic steroids.

These are just a couple of examples of how widespread the problem has become.

What are anabolic steroids? Synthetically produced variants of the

naturally occurring male hormone testosterone.

Both males and females have testosterone produced in their bodies: males in the testes, and females in the ovaries and other tissues.

The full name for this class of drugs is androgenic (promoting masculine characteristics) anabolic (tissue building) steroids (the class of drugs).

The Effect Androgenic Effect

refers to the physical changes experienced by a male during puberty, in the course of development to manhood

males and females have similar effects This property is responsible for the majority of

the side effects of steroid use. Anabolic Effects

refers to promoting of anabolism, the actual building of tissues, mainly muscle, accomplished by the promotion of protein synthesis.

Methods Injection (most common)

Using non-sterile needles can result in blood-borne diseases

Orally (most common) Pellet implantation under the skin Application to the skin (e.g. gels or

patches). Steroids are taken anywhere from 1 up to

100 times the normal therapeutic doses of anabolic steroids.

Methods cont. Stacking

This often includes taking two or more steroids concurrently

CyclingAbusers will often alternate periods (6 to 16 weeks in

length) of high dose use of steroids with periods of low dose use or no drug at all

Pyramidingusers slowly escalate steroid use ( during a 6-12 week

period increasing the number of drugs used at one time )Reaching a peak amount at mid-cycle and gradually

taper the dose toward the end of the cycle.

Physical Effects High blood cholesterol levels - high blood cholesterol levels may

lead to cardiovascular problems Severe acne Thinning of hair and baldness Fluid retention High blood pressure Liver disorders (liver damage, jaundice and tumors) Risk of contracting HIV and other blood-borne diseases from

sharing infected needles Nose bleeds Damage liver and heart Enlarging hands and feet Growth plate to close and stunt growth prematurely

Psychological Disturbances Mood swings (including manic-like symptoms leading

to violence) Impaired judgment (stemming from feelings of

invincibility) Depression Nervousness Extreme irritability Delusions Steroid psychosis is a mental illness and often results

in “roid rage”Resembles temper tantrums and user loses control and

may harm others or themselves

Steroids and Athletics Creates an unfair competitive advantage International Olympic Committee has

tested competitors since 1976Several winners have been stripped of their

medals after testing positive Use of drugs for a competitive edge is

unhealthy Destroys the major purpose of sports

competition

Controlled Substances Act On February 27, 1991 anabolic steroids are

defined as any drug or hormonal substance chemically and pharmacologically related to testosterone that promotes muscle growth.

The possession or sale of anabolic steroids without a valid prescription is illegal.

Steroids are legal with a prescription. People are prescribed anabolic steroids

because of a disease that causes a decrease in muscle tissue and burn victims

Class Discussion – Answer these questions on your warm-up paper

What are the ethical issues surrounding the use of steroids in the athletic arena?

What does it mean to you as high school students that teenagers are the leading population for abuse? What can you do about it?

How do you perceive steroid use, after seeing many athletes succeed with anabolic steroids? (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jose Canseco, and Jesse Ventura)?

Were you aware that Arnold Schwarzenegger was appointed by President Busch Sr. to the Council on Physical Fitness and Sports? What message could that send to young people?
