The steroids don't make anyone stronger or faster statement isn't entirely true.
A lot of the benefits of steroids don't necessarily come from your muscle tissue. There are also other factors that play a huge roll (hormones, etc).
Steroids like Equipoise and Halotestin increase your red blood cell count... in turn yeilding positive effects on the V02 max. Improving aerobic capabilities.
Why do you think EQ is primarily given to race horses?
Winstrol and other androgenic (DHT derived) steroids bind very well to the androgen receptor, promoting significant strength gains.
I've used steroids and can tell you these things from first hand as well as researched experience.
I think steroids are considered unfair in sports because some atheletes don't necessarily want to subject themselves to the side effects of steroids.
Sure things like gynocemastia (in men) can be prevented with the use of proper ancillaries but other androgenic sides (hair growth, acne, acceleration of MPB) can't effectively be controlled without the addition of even more substances (like higher doeses of finasteride) but even then, this will negatively effect the benefit of the steroid due to the restriction of DHT.
Anyway, for bodybuilding and aesthetic purposes I believe that certain steroids can be used relatively safely if the proper precautions are taken and the length of supression to the HPTA is minimal (8 week cycles).
Things like base line hormonal bloodwork should be done and after a proper post cycle treatment, testing should be done again to be sure that base line levels have returned to normal.
Got a little off target there, but steroids can enhance performance capabilities.
