The Evolution of Anabolic Steroid Laws

The Evolution of Anabolic Steroid Laws Guest: Anthony Roberts

Laws are created to protect people from harm. For instance, the 55 mile per hour speed limit laws were instituted as automobiles were capable of traveling at higher rates of speed making most high speed car accidents fatal for all in the car. Seatbelt laws followed soon after. So what dangers did anabolic steroids produce that criminalizing them was required? And more importantly in this gender-blurring time, how is the use of these sex-hormone based drugs acceptable for use today? I mean, if they’re dangerous, how do we justify exposing one group who choose to use for one purpose acceptable, and not the other? These and other facts will be on full display today as we discuss the evolution of anabolic steroid laws in America.
