Steroids do increase the risk tendon and ligament injuries. Thats why most people who have used steroids for long peroids of times have serious injuries occur.Battousai said:No. In fact, one of the reasons people use steroids is to gain endurance (as with track-and-field or swimming athletes).
However, steroids don't help agility and may, in extreme cases of muscle mass addition, lower agility. Additionally, steroids could increase the risk of tendon and ligament injuries (strains and tears). Those problems would probably keep some hockey athletes away from steroids. Not to mention the obvious internal health implications.
As far as Dick Pound goes He thinks every sport has a steroid problem. I cant wait for him to start saying chess players use them.
