They can have harmful side effects. Whether the effects are negligable or solely the result of abuse (Which I don't believe) is irrelevant. An athlete shouldn't be forced to put himself in danger of these effects to compete with other athletes who are on these drugs.
But the fact is athletes are on these drugs..and smart athletes will continue to be. Boxing isn't a team game..You are the only one responsible for your performance. Which is why you MUST be at the top of your game every single fight, especially if you're an elite world class boxer or you can wave bye bye to those pay days.
As for side effects, they're different for different people but can be avoided/reversed by the knowledgable. Abuse IS usually when the side effects occur. Used responsibly steroids are actually beneficial to ones life..especially the older you get.
