Some legislators are captivated by hysteria connected with steroids

Numerous persons believe that “roid rage” or uncontrolled aggressive manner is a common undesirable symptom which appears in those who use steroids. Moreover, certain persons claim that it is even impossible to avoid this adverse consequence, if you use steroids. Nevertheless, it is not proven scientifically that it is a real undesirable result of anabolic steroids. But even if we suppose that it exists, it may occur only in small number of steroid users.
Since numerous people confirm that “roid rage” is an unwanted result 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 officers have used deadly force, or if police force resulted in some injuries, they must 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 not clear why police officials that apply deadly force will be tested for steroids. Can intake of steroids prove that use of deadly force was unjustified? Is it confirmed that steroids because of aggressiveness may make police officers unable to make fair decisions?
Investigation team is a proper idea for police officers who apply deadly force. But administration of steroids should not be taken in consideration here. Positives or negatives for steroids can’t determine whether deadly force has been used properly or not. It doesn’t matter a police officer has taken steroids, aspirin or just 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 intake of steroids by police officers must be a legitimate concern. But it is not said about uncontrolled aggressive behavior as a chief reason in this situation. The problem is that illegal intake of controlled substances by police officers makes them vulnerable to corruption and the black market of steroids. They may compromise.
