🎉 Fun Fact Time! Did you know that anabolic steroids are like the "magic beans" of sports? Let's dive in to see how these beans affect athletes! 🎉

Anabolic steroids are chemicals that mimic certain hormones in our body to help muscles grow. They're pretty famous among athletes for a bunch of reasons, but they’re also controversial. Here's why

• Fact: Athletes who take steroids often see a rapid weight gain.
• Example: Think about a rugby player who needs to be heavier to tackle his opponents. Steroids could make him gain 2-5kg in less than 10 weeks!
• But... (there’s always a ‘but’): Some studies show that this weight gain doesn’t always mean stronger muscles. It's like having a car that looks fast but doesn't have a powerful engine.

• Fact: Steroids can help muscles recover faster after injury.
• Real-world example: Imagine getting a scratch on your phone screen. Steroids are like that screen protector that prevents deeper scratches and helps the original scratch heal quicker.
• So, athletes can train longer and harder without getting as injured. This can be super useful for all athletes, no matter their sport.
