Let’s start by telling it like it is. The world has a HUGE steroid problem on its hands - and not just in bodybuilding. Young athletes everywhere are turning to performance enhancement drugs – playing steroid roulette with their lives in hopes of making it into the “big leagues.” They’re falling for the big lie that these drugs are safe and okay to use. And why shouldn’t they? After all, aren’t many of their favorite sports heroes juicing and getting paid millions of dollars a year for doing so?

But the truth is that steroids are KILLERS… DESTROYERS… LIFE WRECKERS! That’s why this brand new anti-steroid organization has been formed called Athletes Against Steroids. The two main objectives of the organization are to discourage athletes from using dangerous bodybuilding drugs and to help those who have already developed a dependency on these pharmaceuticals to quit using them.

(1) Educate amateur and professional athletes, students, coaches, personal trainers, sports researchers, nutritional companies, educators, magazine publishers, etc. on the dangers of steroids.

(2) Become a clearinghouse of information on the dangers of steroid usage while offering safe and effective options in training, nutrition, and supplementation.

(3) Disseminate this information through magazine articles, books, newsletters, an internet web site, video and audio tapes, etc.

(4) Develop AAS local chapter support groups to help those athletes who have grown dependent on these drugs to stop using them. Offer cessation support through a phone-in line and the internet for those areas where there isn’t yet a local chapter.

(5) Start a national speaker’s bureau composed of AAS members who are willing to speak about the dangers of steroids to schools, organizations, athletic associations, religious groups, businesses, etc.

(6) Sponsor an annual awards dinner honoring those men and women who exemplify the goals and ideals of AAS.
