I decided to search google to possibly get some ideas. The first site I found was https://www.elitefitness.com/forum/anabolic-steroids/ordering-gear-college-campus-215516.html. It brought up a, in my opinion, rather good idea. The link leads to a wall where a bunch of people are commenting about whether or not to get steroids sent through UPS to the college address or get a P.O. box instead. There is an obvious story here in that if you could get any of these people to actually interview with you, or just steal their comments but that is unethical right, you could easily get a story about why people do or do not send steroids to their school mailbox as there seems to be plenty of opinions both ways.
The second article I found could almost fit in as it has some statistics about steroids in college. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2383927 is a link to a site that has the results of a study done to determine steroid use in college. They tested over 50,000 random college students and found that between 1993 and 2001 steroid use in men went up from .3 percent to almost 1 percent. This could kind of tie in with how they recieve it because if you can get it sent to your box, then it would make it easier hence the larger number doing it.
The third site I found talked about the prices of steroids on the black market. http://www.steroid.com/black.php links to the site. This could easily fit into both other ideas. Who can afford it, is it cheaper then it used to be, etc.
The fourth article I found talks about why student athletes would use steroids and consequences that keep them using steroids. http://www.helium.com/items/1011668-consequences-of-steroids-use-in-college-sports?page=2. A little of prodding into some of the people you find that have taken them an gotten caught, or some research and probably anonomous quotes from some who are currently using them could make a good story into why they use steroids.
The fifth article I found has some good basic facts i.e., what steroids do for you, adverse affects, and signs of steroid use, that would be a helpful addition to any article about steroids. http://www.teendrugabuse.us/teensteroids.html.
The sixth and last site I found had a little more facts about steroid use. again a helpful site to supplement the rest of the research done. http://www.campuscompare.com/college-resources/college-athletics/steroids-in-college-sports/

I thought that one article on the mother/daughter was...er...interesting, because I couldn't believe someone would share that! Otherwise, good insight.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the research you found on steroid use.
