Steroid use in Australia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Steroid use in Australia
Anabolic/androgenic steroids are illegal drugs that are obtained from the male hormone, testosterone. Anabolic steroids are used for muscle and strength gain and are used and abused widely by not only Australian body builders, but also by young Australian teens. In Australian society, the pressure for teens to have the perfect physique has encouraged them to use steroids and has caused a major increase in the use of the substance. Anabolic steroids work in many ways by increasing protein synthesis in the muscles and by eliminating the catabolic process (the process of breaking down skeletal muscle for energy). It is common for teens and adults to use steroids as they stimulate and encourage muscle growth much more rapidly than natural body building. The use of steroids in Australian society is misunderstood. Although they are illegal, arguably there are some beneficial effects from steroid use, and they mainly cause harm when used incorrectly. == Statistics== In Australia, many people are encouraged to use steroids due to the body image expectations created by society. In secondary schools, 3.2% of boys and 1.2% of girls are using steroids. Many Australian bodybuilders visit Bangkok and Pattaya in Thailand because the pharmacies there sell some steroid brands ten times cheaper than they available on the Australian black market. Australians were also purchasing their steroids in other countries to avoid a possible criminal record at home. Australian Crime Commission statistics have shown that there was a 106% increase in the last financial year of "performance and image-enhancing-drugs", showing 5,561 border detections. In 2007, the Australian Government surveyed a total of 23,356 Australians, asking them if they had ever used anabolic steroids for non-medical reasons, giving a result of 43.9%.
