Roid Rage: Real or Myth?
August 21st, 2007 by Paul Johnson
The mainstream media jumps on the roid rage bandwagon with cases such as Steve Benoit(the wrestler who killed his family) because they love sensationalism. They also don’t understand much about steroids and figure the public doesn’t either, so they can use that to their advantage.
Roid Rage Scientific Studies:
There have been only a few studies done on steroids and testing aggression. Some studies I have come across are Horm Behav. 2001 Nov;40(3):409-18 and Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2004 Dec;1036:399-415 and one done on human males J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1996 Oct;81(10):3754-8 All three studies concluded that high doses of steroids (testosterone in these studies) showed an increased aggression, but not an unprovoked or irrational psychotic “roid rage”, as displayed by the media.
What does this mean?
What I been saying all along, that steroids are not really a cause of “Roid Rage”. It is people with a bad temper who are looking for an excuse to lose control and do something stupid. If anything, Alcohol is much more of a cause of rage phenomenon, considering it makes you lose your total sense of judgement. Does this mean steroids are totally innocent? No, but it’s effect on the personality is greatly overblown.
You can read another article of mine where I address many of the other Steroid facts & myths from a fair analysis, backed by experience and research.
