The use of steroids is spreading—not solely in the area of sports but as well as in the show business. In fact, several internet sources nowadays features how celebrities are being linked to the use of these illegal performance enhancing drugs. One is the Health and Men which featured some celebrities who were involved on steroid use including the effect of these drugs to their profession. The post, which is entitled “Celebrity Enhancing Drugs: Is There a Double Standard?,” discussed the usual questions that normally run into the mind of people such as why would these celebrities use illegal drugs when in fact they are not competing into a game that require physical vigor. Precisely, they are not competing into something that will require physical strength. However, they explained that these celebrities are competing for a role in a T.V. show or in a movie. Therefore, once they appear with a beautiful built; they would be selected by the producers to take the role. More importantly, they would gain the attention of the audience—their admiration more specifically.

Moreover, it is also stated that the use of performance enhancing drugs among celebrities is becoming rampant because they are not often tested for performance enhancing drugs unlike athletes. This claim makes a clear and direct point, if professional sports athletes and pro-wrestlers are undergoing a steroid test and is following a steroid policy, then, there should be the same rule among the professional and amateur actors since these drugs are also posing risks to their body. Health and Men also revealed some celebrities who are confirmed to be juicing such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Dolph Lungren.

Newcomers in the showbusiness are also increasing in number. The first one is Cornell Haynes Jr. or Nelly. This personality was suspected of using steroids because of the rapid growth of his body. The other one is Mark Wahlberg; according to the post, this man has been observed to gain an immediate increase in body size. He was also able to decrease the size of his body as he performed the role of Vince Papale in Invincible.

We can confirm now that these celebrities undoubtedly use more than just protein shakes—but something that is more powerful such as steroids. Hence, if these celebrities are using steroids , they must also get suspension or other sanctions. Health and Men also proposed to jail any celebrity who will deny his or her involvement on steroid use. The point is clear: no one should be exempted from the rule. Steroid policy is also encouraged to be observed in the show business since the annual report published by the International Narcotics Control Board in UN stated that prominent people who are caught using illegal drugs is making an impact to the young people—placing them in danger.

According to the report, celebrities are often dealt moderately when it comes to such issue; hence, conveying a wrong message to the young ones. It is also highlighted in the report that the issue of taking illegal drugs is being glamorized when caught with the celebrities. So, with the facts mentioned above; it is definitely not ideal for the celebrities to be given with a loose rule when it comes to taking illegal drugs.
