Several legislators are captivated by the hysteria connected with “roid rage” as a side effect of steroids

A lot of people suppose that “roid rage” or uncontrolled aggressive behavior is a usual unwanted symptom which appears in those who take steroids. Furthermore, several individuals confirm that it is even impossible to avoid this negative consequence, if you utilize steroids. Nonetheless, it is not proven scientifically that it is a real negative consequence of anabolic steroids. But even if we suppose that it exists, it can appear only in small number of steroid users.
Since numerous persons think that “roid rage” is a side symptom of anabolic steroids, numerous ill-informed legislative suggestions were made. Certain such proposals have been made in Oregon. It has been proposed to introduce certain new laws. According to these new laws, if any police officials have been involved in deadly force, or if police force resulted in some injuries, they have to be tested for steroids.
The politician Lew Frederick has made the same proposal in Oregon House of Representatives. Those police officers that have applied deadly force will be investigated, tested for several drugs and their mental health will be evaluated as well.
In fact, it is unclear why police officers who use deadly force will be tested for steroids. Can intake of steroids prove that use of deadly force was unjustified? Is it believed that steroids because of aggressiveness can make police officers unable to make fair decisions?
Investigation team is a reasonable idea for police officers that apply deadly force. But intake of steroids should not be taken in consideration here. Positives or negatives for steroids can’t determine whether deadly force has been applied properly or not. It doesn’t matter a police official has taken steroids, aspirin or only drunk juice.
So, it is possible to make a conclusion that legislators turn to be captivated by hysteria related to “roid rage” of anabolic steroids. Undoubtedly, Of course, illegal administration of steroids by police officials should be a legitimate concern. But it is not said about uncontrolled aggressive manner as a principal reason in this situation. The problem is that illegal administration of controlled substances by police officials makes them vulnerable to corruption and the steroid black market. Such police officers may compromise.
