The Ontario Drug Awareness
Partnership is working with local
groups to increase awareness of
drugs and alcohol from Nov. 15 -
21. The theme "In your community
... you can make a difference" has
been adopted by several area high
schools who are holding special
drug awareness week events.
The local drug awareness week
committee is assisting the high
schools and also looking for new
members for 1999. While alcohol
remains the local drug of choice,
Huron Addiction Assessment &
Referral Centre (HAARC) would
like to see more awareness of other
drug-related issues including
athletes using steroids,
Now that the race to better Roger
Maris's homerun record is over,
more attention can be given to the
use of steroids by professional and
amateur athletes. Meryl Thomas,
director of HAARC said, today's
sport world is becoming tainted by
the use of artificial performance-
enhancing substances. In the world
of big business sporting events,
some athletes, even if aware of the
potential health hazards and
unfairness of doping, feel
compelled to take drugs, and are
reluctant to compete without them,
so long as other athletes use
artificial boosters.
"Those athletes who use steroids
are doing a disservice to all the
young fans who admire their
sporting accomplishments."
Generally, she said, the use of
anabolic steroids in combination
with intense training and an
enhanced diet will increase
muscularity beyond what is

expected from training alone.
However, the medical and
scientific community has not
always been able to objectively
substantiate the enhancement of
athletic performance.
Potential health risks may vary
from user to user and depend on a
variety of factors such as whether it
is in oral or injectable form, the
dosage, the length and time of use
and interactions with other drugs
being used at the same time, a
process known as "stacking".
In adult males, some of the
harmful effects include potential
kidney and liver dysfunction, breast
enlargement, extreme and
disfiguring acne, psychological
distress, reduction in testicular size
and levels of testosterone which
can lead to impotence. In adult
females masculinization can occur,
such as deepening of the voice,
enlargement of the Adam's apple,
male pattern balding and abnormal
or absent menstrual cycle, said
Thomas.
In addition to the effects noted
above, adolescents who use
steroids can experience premature
closures of the growth centres of
long bones which may result in
stunted growth. Those who inject
steroids run the risk of hepatitis or
AIDS if dirty needles ere shared.
Regular users can become
addicted to anabolic steroids.
"Steroid users may be dependent on
the drug for a sense of goal
achievement, security, and self-
esteem," said Thomas. Even when
steroid use stops the user can
experience a "post-anabolic crash
syndrome".

Generally, those attempting to
discontinue long term steroid use
face an extremely unpleasant
withdrawal and the resulting
depression can be severe, she said.
Most athletes who are confident
of their ability to succeed without
doping oppose all artificial
performance-enhancing procedures.
However, it is not enough to just
speak out against steroid use. All
coaches, trainers and adults who
care about our youth must work
toward the eradication of drug use
in all sports, both amateur and
professional.
