The next evolution in steroids is something called "gene doping", which is a crude way of saying that a harmless virus in introduced to an athlete in order to alter their genetics. How are you going to detect something like that? Right now, they can't and they have hardly begun to figure out how to detect it. As it is, the drug testing groups are only able to find a VERY small percentage of steroid users, usually those who can't afford the best stuff available.
Face it, steroids aren't going to go away. Those who develope them are always one step ahead of those looking to detect them. Why not just learn to live with them and figure out how we can make them as safe as possible?

Murder isn't going to go away either, but that still isn't a reason to legalize it. So, clearly, that argument doesn't hold.
As for allowing them in sports... once again, by doing that one pretty much makes steroids a requirement for practicing professional sports.
