A member asked:
Why are steroids illegal in sports if doctors sometimes prescribe them for patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: A particular medication might be taken by an athlete for the sole purpose of increasing their performance with no specific medical indication. This is often banned. But, there might be a legitimate medical indication for a particular medication so that is could be prescribed to patients.
