WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Using anabolic steroids is linked to antisocial behavior such as illegal weapon possession and fraud, according a Swedish study published on Monday that provided a fresh warning about the dangers of the muscle-building drugs.

But the researchers said they were somewhat surprised to find that steroid users were no more likely than nonusers to commit violent crimes such as murder and assault. Sexual offenses such as rape and property crimes also were not linked to steroid use, they found.

The researchers examined the relationship between steroids -- already associated with increased aggressiveness and impulsive violent outbursts sometimes dubbed "roid rage" -- and criminal behavior. They looked at people using steroids without a doctor's prescription.

"Our findings indicate that the use of (anabolic steroids) is associated not only with impulsive antisocial behavior but also with an antisocial lifestyle involving various types of criminality," some requiring advance planning, the researchers led by Dr. Fia Klotz of Uppsala University in Sweden wrote.

The study appears in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry.

Among 241 Swedes who came up positive for steroid use out of a sample of 1,440 tested for the drugs from 1995 and 2001 at a laboratory in Huddinge, Sweden, the study found a strong connection to some criminal acts but not others.

The steroid users were roughly twice as likely to have been found guilty of a weapons crime and 1-1/2 times as likely to have been found guilty of fraud.

Anabolic steroids are drugs related to male sex hormones and can be taken through injections or orally. Many athletes, bodybuilders and others, both male and female, use steroids without a prescription to build muscle bulk and strength to look better.

SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS

Steroids can lead to serious side effects, including liver cancer, kidney disease and bad acne.

For men, steroids can shrink testicles, lower sperm count, raise prostate cancer risk and cause infertility and baldness. For women, they can cause facial hair growth, male-pattern baldness, menstrual problems and a deeper voice. They can stunt the growth of adolescents.

Researchers also have seen among steroid abusers extreme mood swings, impulsiveness, depression, paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions and impaired judgment.

The people in the Swedish study, whose average age was 20, were referred to the laboratory for drug testing by police, customs agents, substance abuse clinics and psychiatric facilities. Only three of the 214 steroid users were women.

As for the statistical association between steroid use and convictions for weapons offenses, the researchers wrote that people committing armed robberies or collecting crime-related debts might feel the need to be more muscular or heavier.

When the researchers excluded steroid users who had been referred for testing by a substance abuse clinic, the statistical link between steroids and fraud disappeared. The researchers wrote that this suggested steroids combined with other drugs might make a person more prone to commit fraud.
 
"They looked at people using steroids without a doctor's prescription" does this mean that people with a prescription dont have any of these traits??!!

"As for the statistical association between steroid use and convictions for weapons offenses, the researchers wrote that people committing armed robberies or collecting crime-related debts might feel the need to be more muscular or heavier" are you f*#ing kidding me????!!!!
 
I wouldn't get my posing trunks in a bunch bro, it was of all things a "Swedes" study. If they run out of confectioner sugar they are ready to rob banks also!
 
I heard two morons talking in the gym yesterday...about the tito shamrock fight....and I quote....."yea shamrock took all those steroids and it made him slow...."
guess they saw the look on my face and said what? I said ben johnson....shamrocks slow cause he's old dude...the misconeption of steroids and the general public is fucking silly....I really don't get it.
 
IMO and IME there is definitely an association between illegal AAS use and those behaviors mentioned in the study. That does NOT mean steroids cause those behaviors.

Consider the fact that steroids are illegal and possession carries stiff penalties. People involved in other criminality are often more likely to take the risks of procuring and using steroids.

Again, this doesn't mean steroids cause these behaviors but that there is an association.
 
what does illegal weapons possession and fraud have to do with building muscle? the people i know that have or had guns in the past dont even have a gym membership and i have only known one person in my life that has committed fraud and he abused alcohol not steroids. the average age of user in this study was 20 years old...they shouldnt even be using when they are that young. JMI this bothers me cuz i found this article on the homepage of yahoo news and every stupid ass that reads it treats it as "the truth"

Yeah because we all know every single bank robbery has been carried out by some young buffed and muscular guy. What else did he have to do with his time since the gym closed down on him!

WTF kind of study is this????
