ANABOLIC STEROIDS abuse has been associated with a wide range of adverse side effects ranging from some that are physically unattractive, such as acne and breast development in men, to others that are life threatening that lead to early heart attacks, strokes, liver tumors, kidney failure, and serious psychiatric problems.
