Anabolic Steroid: a drug that is sometimes used illegally by athletes to help them become stronger and more muscular (Merriam-Webster).
Steroids are a class of drugs used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. Estrogen and cortisone are some of the hormones in this class. Anabolic steroids are designed to imitate the hormone testosterone. Anabolic steroids are designed for medical use only, and to treat conditions like hypogonadism, delayed puberty and impotence. Anabolic steroids have a high potential for abuse, and only a very small number are approved for human and animal use in the U.S. (abovetheinfluence.com).
