Is “roid rage” a real side effect of anabolic steroids?

A lot of people suppose that “roid rage” or uncontrolled aggression is a normal side reaction that occurs in steroid users. Furthermore, several individuals consider that it is even impossible to prevent this adverse reaction, if you administrate steroids. Nevertheless, it is not proven scientifically that it is a real unwanted effect of anabolic steroids. But even if we suggest that it exists, it can appear just in small number of steroid users.
Since a lot of individuals think that “roid rage” is an undesirable reaction of anabolic steroids, many ill-informed legislative suggestions were made. Some such proposals have been made in Oregon. It has been proposed to introduce some new laws. According to these new laws, if any police officials have been involved in deadly force, or if police force resulted in some injuries, they should be tested for steroids.
The same proposal was made by the politician Lew Frederick in Oregon House of Representatives. Those police officers who have been involved in deadly force will be investigated, tested for some drugs and their mental health will be also evaluated.
Actually, it is not clear why police officials who are involved in deadly force will be tested for steroids. Can steroid use prove that application of deadly force was unjustified? Is it claimed that steroids due to aggressiveness can make police officers unable to make reasonable decisions?
Investigation team is a proper idea for police officers who use deadly force. But administration of steroids should not be taken in consideration here. Positives or negatives for steroids can’t determine whether deadly force has been applied 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 connected with “roid rage” of anabolic steroids. It goes without saying that illegal usage of steroids by police officials should be a legitimate concern. But it is not spoken about uncontrolled aggressive behavior as a chief reason in this situation. The problem is that illegal intake of controlled substances by police officials makes them vulnerable to corruption and the steroid black market. Such police officers may compromise.
