Whether they’re taken orally, injected, or applied as a gel, anabolic steroid abuse can result in a wide range of dangerous side effects. Many athletes who used steroids, such as Major League Baseball player Alex Rodriguez (or A-rod), have stepped forward to talk about the risks of steroid abuse as a performance enhancing drug.
