Many persons believe that “roid rage” or uncontrolled aggressive manner is a common negative reaction which occurs in consumers of steroids. Moreover, several persons consider that it is even impossible to prevent this unexpected consequence, if you apply steroids. Nevertheless, it is not proven scientifically that it is a real negative effect of anabolic steroids. But even if we suppose that it exists, it may appear just in small number of steroid users.
Since many individuals claim that “roid rage” is an undesirable result of anabolic steroids, many ill-informed legislative suggestions were made. Certain such proposals have been made in Oregon. It has been proposed to introduce several new laws. According to these new laws, if any police officers have been involved in deadly force, or if police force resulted in some injuries, they must be tested for steroids.
The same proposal was made by the politician Lew Frederick in Oregon House of Representatives. Those police officers who have used deadly force will be investigated, tested for several drugs and their mental health will be evaluated as well.
Actually, it is not clear why police officers who apply deadly force will be tested for steroids. Can steroid use prove that application of deadly force was unjustified? Is it believed that steroids due to aggressiveness can make police officers unable to make reasonable decisions?
Investigation team is a good idea for police officers that use deadly force. But administration of steroids is not to be taken in consideration here. Positives or negatives for steroids can’t define whether deadly force has been used properly or not. It doesn’t matter a police official has used steroids, aspirin or just consumed juice.
Thus, it is possible to conclude that legislators turn to be captivated by hysteria related to “roid rage” of anabolic steroids. Undoubtedly, Of course, illegal intake of steroids by police officials has to be a legitimate concern. But it is not said about uncontrolled aggressive behavior as a main 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 are inclined to compromise.
