"Steroids" found on The Partnership for a Drug-Free America web site is giving you the basic information about what steroids actually are. It talks about what type of people use them, how to use them, the side effects of using them, and the long term effects of steroids on the body. They do say that, "Body builders, long-distance runners, cyclists and various other athletes who claim that steroids give them a competitive advantage and/or improve their physical appearance use these drugs illegally." So they do acknowledge that fact that athletes do use them to get an advantage.
Honestly this is basically the same information I have bee finding out on every other website, video, magazine article, or blog. It does go into a little more detail, talking about the side effects because it is trying to actually describe the drug and not be biased about it. All in all it is a very good website to take a look at but I would have rather read a Muscular Development magazine article than go back and read this website again.
