Appendix J: Position Statement on Steriod Use | ** <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Cheverus High School joins the Maine Principal Association and virtually all other sports organizations (U.S. Olympic Committee, National Collegiate Athletic Association, American College of Sports Medicine, American Academy of Pediatrics) in condemning the use of anabolic steroids because the adverse side effects are many, are sometimes serious, and are occasionally fatal. The serious or permanent effects include permanent short stature, if given to a still-growing youth, heart muscle deterioration, and liver cancer. Temporary side effects include liver damage, increased blood cholesterol levels, masculinization of females, decreased sperm count, decreased testicular size, acne, hair loss, and psychological changes including irritability, mood swings, and aggressive behavior which could lead to injury or fighting. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
