Could steroids make your body more athletic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle mass: Anabolic steroids are helpful only for sports in which muscle mass is paramount (bodybuilding, really big football players). Otherwise, they are a poor choice. They are illegal, they are cheating, the testicular atrophy that they cause will get you ridiculed, and they do nothing to increase your speed or endurance. Guys I've known who've tried them are all sorry.
