However it is not yet proven scientifically whether uncontrolled aggressiveness is a negative response of steroids, these drugs are blamed for some criminal actions quite often.
Michael Barton, a man from Britain, hit a Ford Fiesta, while he was driving his Volkswagen Golf. The driver of Ford Fiesta was Paul Gard. Barton had passed Paul Gard. But then Michael Barton had to pull back in front of Paul Gard, since another car was driving the other way. Paul Gard flashed him. Thus, he had to brake suddenly. Barton became furious, stopped his Volkswagen Golf, broke the wing mirror of Paul Gard’s vehicle and hit Gard in the face. Then Gard’s wife called police. While she was calling, Barton left calmly.
Michael Barton, a 21-year-old person who has a son of two years old, takes steroids for bulking effects. So, it has been claimed that these preparations affected his behavior. The defense attorney for this young person affirmed that steroids influenced on temperament of his client, since these medicines enhanced his testosterone levels.
Earlier Michael Barton was convicted for some crimes, including domestic violence. Last year this young man pleaded guilty to an assault, criminal damage and driving incautiously due to his anger following assaults.
Patrick Hooton, the judge, claimed that he was not sure that steroids were responsible for his improper behavior. But he noticed that it was totally mad to get angry and hit a person in the face just because he flashed him. The judge noticed that Barton’s behavior was too disgraceful and he said: “you ought to go to prison”.
Thus, this young man was given 6-month jail sentence suspended for a year; he was also enforced to pay 500 dollars in compensation and ?277 for damage of Paul Gard’s car.
