What can be done to stop steroids and drugs are :

1- Teachers , coaches and sports team leaders must discuss with team players the risk of using steroids and drugs on the body of the player .

Baset : i see !!

What do you think can be done to stop steroids ?

Laila :

I wish coca leaves would be legal. Cocaine is completely different. Coca leaves and Qat leaves don’t give any that bad things. They have no psychoactive effects alone , Coca and Qat  are like caffeine they simply make you not tired .

It’s scientifically proven that coca leaves & Qat leaves in their natural state don’t harm human health .

Baset : But you are not Bolivians : you know that : the earliest known medicinal use of the coca plant – from which cocaine is made  !!

In Bolivia :

Coca is plant in Many South American countries  like the plants in any where !

 A coca vender stuffs handfuls of green leaves into plastic bags.  Bolivians say that chewing coca suppresses hunger and provides a boost of energy.  Bolivians say sometimes they  get tired. “So they chew a little coca,” they say , “and they no longer feel weary.”

Many South American Indians use coca in religious ceremonies .

Laila : I told in many ways and many times

Laila : Because :

In Yemen :

Qat is plant in Yemen like the plants in any where ! So , Chewing of Qat is a purely social .

Qat makes us awake , makes us active ,us speaking a lot & living in another world far from reality !

Baset : well done ! Baset , may I ask you  : why you chew Qat in Yemen & Coca in Bolivia ?

Laila : Because :

1- It is possible that some people who abuse steroids may become addicted to the drugs.

2- As  by their continued use in spite of physical problems and negative effects on social relationships.

3-Also, they spend large amounts of time and money obtaining the drugs and.

4- When they stop using them, they experience withdrawal symptoms such as depression, mood swings, fatigue, restlessness, loss of appetite, insomnia,  and the desire to take more steroids.

5-The most dangerous of using steroids symptoms is depression, because it sometimes leads to suicide attempts .

Baset  : Why do you think steroid use is such a problem in professional athletics?

Laila :

Walaykum assalam wa rhumatuAllah wa baraktu !

We are fine ! Thanks for Allah !

That is right : Just I want to add :

1-When steroids enter the body, they go to different organs and muscles. Steroids are not friendly to the heart. In rare cases, steroid abuse can create a situation where the body may be caused to heart attacks and strokes, which can be caused dead.

2-people who inject anabolic steroids may share non-sterile  or drug injection equipment, that can spread life-threatening viral infections such as HIV/AIDS or hepatitis, which causes serious damage to the liver .

Baset and Joy : Assalamu alaykum  wa rhumatuAllah wa baraktu !

How r u doing today ? hope that U r FINE !

Baset and joy : Do you know   that using steroids can put bodies at risk for more than cardiovascular disease. Steroids can weaken the immune system, which is what helps the body fight against germs and disease. That means that illnesses and diseases have an easy target in someone who is abusing steroids .

Baset and joy : what do you know about steroids ?

Lance Armstrong is not only well-known as a high-profile cyclist ,he is also known as a man  that against all odds fought back and got over his  cancer and continue  winning  international competitions as  Tour de France.   Certainly, it is true that   he was not the only  athlete using steroids to boost his performance, but why  knowing that  if they get  caught  they will lose it all, this doesn´t stop them from  the use of it? My point of view is that we live  in an elitist society that doesn´t accept runners-up , only those top-gunners  who reach the highest  points receive the greatest accolades  from the media  and sponsorships worth hundred of millions of dollars. They might be the best ,nonetheless they  are humans  not superhumans,eventually they will have to come down of the pedestal,is impossible to be a winner and been on the limelight all the time,as nobody wants to lose , probably they take  a shortcut  to the podium with the help of drugs or prohibeted substances.
