Many reasons. The most notable ones:
1. Nobody knows what steroids do to the body long-term. There aren't many (any?) longitudinal studies that address the issue.
2. Illegality, I can think of several things I'd much rather go to jail for.
3. Loser mentality. Frankly, I think steroids are for guys who see themselves as incapable of winning/building a good body without them. This mentality is especially prevalent in PL and WL, where guys will take under the belief that you can't win without them.
4. They're banned by any federation I'm interested in lifting in (USAPL, IPF, etc.)
1. What does alcohol and smoking do to you long term.
2. They are illegal because they make you look better and government doesn't want the population to be healthy. Funny how the government is alright with guys taking Viagra/Ciallis but not basic testosterone.
3. It will take years if not longer to get a great body. I am sorry but most guys where I live don't have a good body.
4. What do I care about a federation, I am not an athlete.
