Anabolic steroids
Synthetic compounds that increase muscle mass and whose use is banned in sports competitions.
Anabolic steroids are synthetic substances produced in the laboratory, whose chemical structure is similar to that of testosterone, a malehormone . Apart from their androgenic effect (producing or enhancing male traits), they increase the growth of muscle mass. Some athletes use them for a purpose other than their normal therapeutic indications, to illicitly “build up muscle”.
