ATHLETES AND THE ABUSE OF ANABOLIC ANDROGENIC STEROIDS
Introduction
The abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) by athletes represents a critical concern for both the health of individuals and the integrity of sport. These compounds, synthetic derivatives of testosterone, were initially developed to treat medical conditions, but their use has intensified among athletes seeking to increase muscle mass and strength. The prevalence of the use of AAS, their consequences for health and the challenges related to their detection were the main focus of this study.
