Not true
because prolong roids reduce the output of natural hormones permanently by shrinking the testicles.
I said 40 because I'm talking about "mild use", people shrink like raisins in their 20's after dropping roids when used in bodybuilding amounts.

Performance enhancing substances
Often bodybuilders use drugs such as anabolic steroids and precursor substances such as prohormones to increase muscle hypertrophy. Anabolic steroids cause muscle hypertrophy of both types (I and II) of muscle fibers caused likely by an increased synthesis of muscle proteins and are accompanied with undesired side effects including hepatotoxicity, gynecomastia, acne, male pattern baldness and a decline in the body's own testosterone production, which can cause testicular atrophy.[26][27][28] Other performance enhancing substances used by competitive bodybuilders include human growth hormone (HGH), which can cause acromegaly.
