Testosterone

Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. In mammals, testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females. Small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In men, testosterone plays a key role in health and well being as well as in osteoporosis. On average, an adult human male body produces about forty to sixty times more testosterone than an adult female body, but females are from a behavioral perspective more sensitive to the hormone.

In Recent News

In recent steroids news Manny Ramirez was found to have testosterone four times the average male adult. They related his above average testosterone to a non-steroid drug called HGC. He was suspended for 50 games of the season because of this event. HGC is not a steroid but it is used after a cycle of steroids leading everyone to believe that he did steroids. It is made to re-start the normal testosterone after a cycle. He (Manny) said that he got the drug from a doctor because of a serious heath problem. That seems like a better excuse than the one New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez used when he was tested positive for two types of anabolic steroids during his years with the Texas Rangers. A little note that Texas is the steroid nation of the U.S. But Alex's excuse was that he was given a supplement for an injury by his cousin. Come on Alex your my favorite baseball player but you could have come up with a better excuse. But what done is done with.

Are Steroids Good for Sports?

The home runs in baseball, the big hits in football and the knock out punches in wrestling. Its what the fans pay for. But are all these big accomplishments part of hard work and good effort. Some can actually say yes they went threw all the gruelling practices and workout sessions. But as time goes on I'm starting to see that athletes are taking the easy way out by taking Anabolic Steroids. When I see players like Barry Bonds hitting his record setting 756 home run those same people who say steroids are bad and criticize him are now congratulating him for his amazing feet he has accomplished. The point I'm trying to make is that the people love seeing the ball being hit 500 feet. They'll except the fact that the sport is being rid of the things they used to be. In football what you go to the games is to see these big men go and lay "the wood" on players. Look at Lyle Alzado he was one of the baddest SOB's to play the sports. His source of it was steroids. So are steroids good for sports. It seems like it so.
