Ages and Stages Second Half: Steroid User In Us All

Steroids are commonly used by athletes to enhance their performance, but I believe that no one thinks they will become a steroid user.  Athletes that do not use supplements notice that they cannot perform as well as the athletes that do.  By noticing how well the users perform, the non-users obtain a mindset that they will never be good unless they begin taking supplements.  Athletes that do not use supplements may self-handicap and think of excuses as to why they are not doing very well.  Just like the author of the article stated, athletes "finally turn to the dark side" when they are in their moment of hopelessness and weakness.
