Growing Steroid Usage
In today’s ever growing society, athletes are becoming more and more spotlighted in the media. Professional sports are becoming more and more popular because of the media, and athletes are always looking to get better at what they do. Athletes are always looking to become stronger and faster, looking for any edge they can get on their opponents. Sometimes hard work is just not enough for these athletes, so in addition to the long hours of working out, they turn to illegal substances to try and gain that edge. Upon seeing the results that these professionals gain from taking steroids, young people often take them, expecting to get the same results and not thinking about the side effects that they may have.
My paper will explore the different types of steroids that are on the market. I will also discuss who uses these steroids, what the side effects, both positive and negative, are, and how different governing bodies are looking to prevent the usage of steroids. Since steroids are fairly accessible, it is often common for young people to take them, so it is important for proper regulations are imposed for safety.
My audience will be anyone who is involved in any kind of sports, because they will most likely have heard of different steroid allegations. Also, it will be geared towards athletes who have at one time or another considered using steroids. With this paper I hope to provide useful knowledge about steroids.

Ross,
You want to narrow down the scope of your paper: it might be really difficult to cover both the types of uses for steroids, the side effects, AND the action government bodies have taken, all in 4-5 pages:-). I'd choose either the side effects or the prevention/policy as the main focus of this paper. Of course, in either case you would have to sum up why and how athletes have used them.
