Use of steroids by athletes advocated

An ally in Dr. Norman Fost, director of the bioethics program at the University of Wisconsin at Madison was found by sportsmen on steroids who have seen their image getting tarnished by media.

It was remarked by Dr. Fost that athletes should be allowed to use performance enhancing drug as per their preferences, hinting that all previous talks about steroid use in sports were of no substance.

From Bigthink.com:

“Drug-testing policies in professional sports are completely illogical, and the placement of drugs on the banned substance list is quite arbitrary,” says Fost. He readily acknowledges that many of these illegal substances do boost performance, but “so does everything else that athletes do to give themselves a competitive edge.” He also emphasizes that steroids do not create athletes, but rather help them to train harder; “Believe me, I could juice all day and all night, and I’d never be able to hit a major league pitch.”
In response to those who believe steroids should remain banned because of their health risks, Fost points to the MLB’s tolerance of chewing tobacco during games, and to the NFL’s glorification of bone-crunching tackles. Regardless, Fost insists that the health risks of steroids have been wildly exaggerated. Fost also thinks it's hypocritical that Lance Armstrong has been crucified in the media for his alleged blood doping, while NFL newcomer (and predestined superstar) Tim Tebow was recently seen on television boasting about his use of a hyperbaric chamber; “Hyperbaric chambers and drugs such as EPO are essentially two means to the same end.”

This support for use of steroids also suggested that proclaimed health risks of steroids have been widely exaggerated in the past and steroid use can only help athletes train hard.
