Anabolic Steroids in Baseball
The use of Dianabol in baseball and other high energy sports is a problem for international as well as nation sports authorities.
Use of performance enhancers in sports is a menace to the spirit of the games. The illegal use of many performance enhancers are becoming common these days and it is taking away the spirit of sports. International sports authorities are trying to stop the menace of sports, but unable eradicate it, although it is to large extent under control.
The commonly used (abused) performance enhancers in sports are anabolic steroids. Among the anabolic steroids Dianabol (Methandrostenolone) and Anavar (oxandrolone) are very commonly used or abused drugs in sports.
The use of Methandrostenolone is commonly seen in body building, baseball, football and other high voltage and high energy sports. The use of Dianabol (Methandrostenolone) was the reason of dominance in many Olympic games by many countries like East Germany and Soviet Union.
Dianabol:
Dianabol or Methandrostenolone is an anabolic steroid which was developed in the US in 1960s and marketed in the US first. The main use of Methandrostenolone was by body builders for building muscle mass very quickly. It was used for this purpose till USFDA banned it. But methandrostenolone is still available in many countries even without prescription in different trade name like Reforvit-b and in many Asian countries and also in many East European countries.
In the early 1960s it was prescribed by the doctors despite any proven clinical application, mainly for the females as tonic. But the masculinising effects of this drug were not acceptable and was slowly stopped. But to these day it is used by professional body builders.
Anavar:
The use of Anavar is not as harmful as that of Dianabol, due to its not very toxic, not very androgenic, mildly anabolic properties. It also has mild effect on the body’s HPTA (Hypothalamic-Testicular-Pituitary-Axis). Though it has mild anabolic properties, it is banned in sports, although still used by some sports person though illegally.
