Performance-enhancing drugs in sports

Performance enhancing drugs have become the new key to building muscle in several industries. Many famous actors and models have had to build a lot of muscle in a short period of time, whether it’s for a movie or a photo shoot. They all have faced the temptation of steroids and other illegal performance enhancing drugs. Some have chosen to build muscle the old-fashioned way, but some have started down a dark path.

Lance Armstrong is a big name in professional cycling, he has won The Tour De France seven times, but that all was lost in the background when he confessed to using erythropoietin and Human Growth Hormone. These drugs had helped him in all seven tours that he won. Now he is fighting having to pay back all the prize money he had won.

Armstrong isn’t the only celebrity who has done these type of drugs, Henry Cavill,  Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mark Wahlberg have admitted to doing Performance Enhancing Drugs for many of their movies.

In all the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs is not worth it. It can ruin a reputation, families, and careers. So, everything they worked so hard to achieve is being thrown down the toilet.
