Abstract

The importance of the research was to identify the reality of stimulant abuse in some civil halls in Babylon Governorate, and to identify the rates of stimulant abuse among the research sample. Taking steroids to artificially improve athletic performance is a type of sports fraud that distorts and contradicts the image of sports. Taking steroids is considered a prohibited act by international sports institutions, and anyone whose tests reveal their presence in his body is punished by expulsion and exclusion from sports competitions. These hormones are produced and manufactured for medical purposes, such as stimulating bone growth, for example in cases of patients with multiple (severe) fractures, and they do not include sports use at all. A person may love the feeling that taking steroids gives him that he is a hero or like a movie star. These steroids may also give him quick results and improve the appearance of the body and muscles, but they may lead to serious complications. In light of the previous presentation, the researchers decided to conduct an analytical study of the reality of stimulant abuse in some community halls in Babylon Governorate. In addition to strengthening bones and helping to maintain a healthy weight, some people resort to taking steroids to help them get results faster. Despite the development of drug detection systems, the intentional and unintentional use of prohibited steroids in sports is increasing in various sports, whether among young people. Professionals and amateurs alike, as a result of the tremendous development in the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing and the desire of many athletes to reach high physical and athletic levels, endure training, and achieve athletic excellence in various competitions.
