Women's boxing was included in the programme for the first time and women competed in three weight classes There was a special dispensation for the shooting events which would otherwise have been illegal under UK gun law In tennis mixed doubles returned to the Olympic programme for the first time since
London's bid featured the same sports that had been included in other recent Summer Olympics but the IOC voted to drop baseball and softball from the Games two days after it had selected London as the host city There was an appeal but the IOC voted to uphold the decision and the two sports were last scheduled for the Olympics The IOC then voted on whether or not to replace them They considered karate squash golf roller sports and rugby sevens Karate and squash were the two final nominees but neither received enough votes to reach the required two thirds majority
Although formal demonstration sports were eliminated after the Summer Olympics special tournaments for non Olympic sports can be run during the Games such as the Wushu tournament at the Summer Olympics There were attempts to run Twenty cricket and netball tournaments alongside the Games but neither campaign was successful

Broadcasting edit
Main article List of Summer Olympics broadcasters
The International Broadcast Centre in June
The host broadcaster was Olympic Broadcasting Services OBS an agency of the IOC The OBS used its own cameras and crews subcontracted from other Olympic broadcasters to cover the events The base video and audio were sold to other broadcasters who added their own commentary and presentation
The official recording format of the Olympic Games used Panasonic's digital technologies The official video was produced and distributed from the International Broadcast Centre in i High Definition HD format Panasonic announced that DVCPRO HD would be the official recording format OBS London used P HD shoulder mount camcorders
The IOC's wanted television coverage to reach as broad a worldwide audience as possible and London was covered by several national and regional broadcasters In the UK the BBC carried the Olympics and Channel the Paralympics The BBC aimed to broadcast all hours of the Games BBC Parliament's Freeview channel was suspended BBC Three's on air time was extended so that it could show Olympic events in the daytime and additional BBC Olympics channels were available via cable satellite and the internet in the UK
The US television rights owned by NBC accounted for over half the rights revenue for the IOC book Thousands of Americans however accessed the BBC's omnibus coverage using proxy servers or VPNs Despite high viewership many viewers were disappointed with NBC's coverage The operations of broadcasters granted rights to the Games were hosted in the dedicated International Broadcast Centre inside the security cordon of the Olympic Park YouTube planned to stream the Games in territories in Asia and Sub Saharan Africa where there were no official broadcasters
In Sri Lanka a dispute occurred between Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation SLRC and MBC Networks MTV MBC as to who was the official broadcaster of the Games This problem was caused as Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union ABU had offered the official broadcasting rights to both networks as both of the networks were ABU members So SLRC filed a case against MBC Networks for broadcasting rights at the Colombo Magistrate's Court Considering the case the court issued a special court order preventing MBC Networks' Olympic broadcast and stated that SLRC should be the sole broadcaster However when the Games started both networks broadcast most of the events simultaneously Another dispute had previously occurred between Carlton Sports Network CSN and SLRC but the Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage had stated that SLRC had the exclusive rights
Marketing edit

Logo and graphics edit
There have been two London logos one created by Kino Design for the bidding process and a second as the brand for the Games themselves The former was a ribbon with blue yellow black green and red stripes winding through the text "LONDON " making the shape of the River Thames in East London The latter designed by Wolff Olins was published on June It is a representation of the number with the Olympic Rings embedded within the zero
The Paralympics logo far left and the different official colour combinations for the Wolff Olins main logo design
Public reaction to the main logo in a June BBC poll was largely negative more than of votes gave it the lowest possible rating Several newspapers ran their own logo competitions displaying alternative submissions from their readers and several writers from news agencies criticised the logo A segment of animated footage released at the same time as the logo was reported to trigger seizures in a small number of people with photosensitive epilepsy and a short segment was removed from the London website in response It was suggested that the logo resembles the cartoon character Lisa Simpson performing fellatio on Bart Simpson In February Iran threatened to boycott the Olympics complaining that the logo appeared to spell out the word "Zion" However this boycott did not occur
The official London Olympic typeface was called Headline and also suffered some criticism Journalist Simon Garfield made it number in the list of the " Worst Fonts in the World" in his book Just My Type commenting that "the uncool font is based on jaggedness and crudeness" although he conceded that it was "a brilliant piece of corporate branding" The magazine Wired pointed out that the typeface was intended for "awareness impact and memorability as a headline typeface" rather than elegance or readability in long sections of text
Mascots edit
Main article Wenlock and Mandeville Anabolic steroids technically known as anabolic androgenic steroids AAS are drugs that are structurally related to the cyclic steroid rings system and have similar effects to testosterone in the body They increase protein within cells especially in skeletal muscles Anabolic steroids also have androgenic and virilizing properties including the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics such as the growth of the vocal cords testicles primary sexual characteristics and body hair secondary sexual characteristics The word anabolic referring to anabolism comes from the Greek ??aß??? anabole "that which is thrown up mound" and the word androgenic from the Greek ??d??? andros "of a man" ?e??? genes "born"
Anabolic steroids were first made in the s and are now used therapeutically in medicine to stimulate muscle growth and appetite induce male puberty and treat chronic wasting conditions such as cancer and AIDS The American College of Sports Medicine acknowledges that AAS in the presence of adequate diet can contribute to increases in body weight often as lean mass increases and that the gains in muscular strength achieved through high intensity exercise and proper diet can be additionally increased by the use of AAS in some individuals
Health risks can be produced by long term use or excessive doses of anabolic steroids
Coronation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, June 1953
Coronation of Elizabeth II
Main article: Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II
During 1951, George VI's health declined and Elizabeth frequently stood in for him at public events. When she toured Canada and visited President Harry S. Truman in Washington, D.C., in October 1951, her private secretary, Martin Charteris, carried a draft accession declaration in case the King died while she was on tour.[55] In early 1952, Elizabeth and Philip set out for a tour of Australia and New Zealand by way of Kenya. On 6 February 1952, they had just returned to their Kenyan home, Sagana Lodge, after a night spent at Treetops Hotel, when word arrived of the death of the King and consequently Elizabeth's immediate accession to the throne. Philip broke the news to the new Queen.[56] Martin Charteris asked her to choose a regnal name; she chose to remain Elizabeth, "of course".[57] She was proclaimed queen throughout her realms and the royal party hastily returned to the United Kingdom.[58] She and the Duke of Edinburgh moved into Buckingham Palace.[59]
With Elizabeth's accession, it seemed probable that the royal house would bear her husband's name, becoming the House of Mountbatten, in line with the custom of a wife taking her husband's surname on marriage. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Elizabeth's grandmother, Queen Mary, favoured the retention of the House of Windsor, and so on 9 April 1952 Elizabeth issued a declaration that Windsor would continue to be the name of the royal house. The Duke complained, "I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children."[60] In 1960, after the death of Queen Mary in 1953 and the resignation of Churchill in 1955, the surname Mountbatten-Windsor was adopted for Philip and Elizabeth's male-line descendants who do not carry royal titles.[61]
Amid preparations for the coronation, Princess Margaret informed her sister that she wished to marry Peter Townsend, a divorcé‚ 16 years Margaret's senior, with two sons from his previous marriage. The Queen asked them to wait for a year; in the words of Martin Charteris, "the Queen was naturally sympathetic towards the Princess, but I think she thought—she hoped—given time, the affair would peter out."[62] Senior politicians were against the match and the Church of England did not permit remarriage after divorce. If Margaret had contracted a civil marriage, she would have been expected to renounce her right of succession.[63] Eventually, she decided to abandon her plans with Townsend.[64] In 1960, she married Antony Armstrong-Jones, who was created Earl of Snowdon the following year. They were divorced in 1978; she did not remarry.[65]
Despite the death of Queen Mary on 24 March, the coronation on 2 June 1953 went ahead as planned, as Mary had asked before she died.[66] The ceremony in Westminster Abbey, with the exception of the anointing and communion, was televised for the first time.[67][d] Elizabeth's coronation gown was embroidered on her instructions with the floral emblems of Commonwealth countries:[71] English Tudor rose; Scots thistle; Welsh leek; Irish shamrock; Australian wattle; Canadian maple leaf; New Zealand silver fern; South African protea; lotus flowers for India and Ceylon; and Pakistan's wheat, cotton, and jute.[72]

Elizabeth II and Commonwealth leaders at the 1960 Commonwealth Conference, Windsor Castle
From Elizabeth's birth onwards, the British Empire continued its transformation into the Commonwealth of Nations.[73] By the time of her accession in 1952, her role as head of multiple independent states was already established.[74] Spanning 1953–54, the Queen and her husband embarked on a six-month around-the-world tour. She became the first reigning monarch of Australia and New Zealand to visit those nations.[75] During the tour, crowds were immense; three-quarters of the population of Australia were estimated to have seen her.[76] Throughout her reign, the Queen has undertaken state visits to foreign countries and tours of Commonwealth ones and she is the most widely travelled head of state.[77]
In 1956, French Prime Minister Guy Mollet and British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden discussed the possibility of France joining the Commonwealth. The proposal was never accepted and the following year France signed the Treaty of Rome, which established the European Economic Community, the precursor of the European Union.[78] In November 1956, Britain and France invaded Egypt in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to capture the Suez Canal. Lord Mountbatten claimed the Queen was opposed to the invasion, though Eden denied it. Eden resigned two months later.[79]
The absence of a formal mechanism within the Conservative Party for choosing a leader meant that, following Eden's resignation, it fell to the Queen to decide whom to commission to form a government. Eden recommended that she consult Lord Salisbury, the Lord President of the Council. Lord Salisbury and Lord Kilmuir, the Lord Chancellor, consulted the British Cabinet, Winston Churchill, and the Chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee, resulting in the Queen appointing their recommended candidate: Harold Macmillan.[80]
The Suez crisis and the choice of Eden's successor led in 1957 to the first major personal criticism of the Queen. In a magazine, which he owned and edited,[81] Lord Altrincham accused her of being "out of touch".[82] Altrincham was denounced by public figures and slapped by a member of the public appalled by his comments.[83]

These effects include harmful changes in cholesterol levels increased low density lipoprotein and decreased high density lipoprotein acne high blood pressure liver damage mainly with oral steroids and dangerous changes in the structure of the left ventricle of the heart Conditions pertaining to hormonal imbalances such as gynecomastia and testicular size reduction may also be caused by anabolic steroids
Ergogenic uses for anabolic steroids in sports racing and bodybuilding as performance enhancing drugs are controversial because of their adverse effects and the potential to gain unfair advantage is considered cheating Their use is referred to as doping and banned by all major sporting bodies For many years AAS have been by far the most detected doping substances in IOC accredited laboratories In countries where AAS are controlled substances there is often a black market in which smuggled clandestinely manufactured or even counterfeit drugs are sold to users

Various anabolic steroids and related compounds
Since the discovery and synthesis of testosterone in the s anabolic steroids have been used by physicians for many purposes with varying degrees of success for the treatment of
Bone marrow stimulation For decades anabolic steroids were the mainstay of therapy for hypoplastic anemias due to leukemia or kidney failure especially aplastic anemia Anabolic steroids have largely been replaced in this setting by synthetic protein hormones such as epoetin alfa that selectively stimulate growth of blood cell precursors
Growth stimulation Anabolic steroids can be used by pediatric endocrinologists to treat children with growth failure However the availability of synthetic growth hormone which has fewer side effects makes this a secondary treatment
Stimulation of appetite and preservation and increase of muscle mass Anabolic steroids have been given to people with chronic wasting conditions such as cancer and AIDS
Induction of male puberty Androgens are given to many boys distressed about extreme delay of puberty Testosterone is now nearly the only androgen used for this purpose and has been shown to increase height weight and fat free mass in boys with delayed puberty
Male contraception in the form of testosterone enanthate potential for use in the near future as a safe reliable and reversible male contraceptive
Stimulation of lean body mass and prevention of bone loss in elderly men as some studies indicate However a placebo controlled trial of low dose testosterone supplementation in elderly men with low levels of testosterone found no benefit on body composition physical performance insulin sensitivity or quality of life
Hormone replacement for men with low levels of testosterone also effective in improving libido for elderly males
Gender dysphoria by producing secondary male characteristics such as a deeper voice increased bone and muscle mass facial hair increased levels of red blood cells and clitoral enlargement in trans man patients among other people designated female at birth or who develop female secondary sexual characteristics but desire to rather be read as male or look more ambiguous such as a number of non binary transgender people both intersex and dyadic and dysphoric non transgender intersex men
Increased Maximum Inspiratory Pressure A study in "Research in Sports Medicine" has found that the combination of resistance training and anabolic steroid administration produce a significant increase in MIP in a cohort of long term AAS users

Numerous vials of injectable anabolic steroids
Most steroid users are not athletes Between million and million people of the population are thought to have misused AAS in the United States Studies in the United States have shown that anabolic steroid users tend to be mostly middle class heterosexual men with a median age of about who are noncompetitive bodybuilders and non athletes and use the drugs for cosmetic purposes "Among to year old boys use of steroids and similar drugs jumped percent from to with percent saying they use them for looks rather than sports a study by insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield found " Eisenhauer Another study found that non medical use of AAS among college students was at or less than According to a recent survey of steroid users were noncompetitive bodybuilders and non athletes while about reported unsafe injection practices such as reusing needles sharing needles and sharing multidose vials though a study found that sharing of needles was extremely uncommon among individuals using anabolic steroids for non medical purposes less than Another study found that of non medical anabolic steroid users had post secondary degrees and more had completed college and fewer had failed to complete high school than is expected from the general populace The same study found that individuals using anabolic steroids for non medical purposes had a higher employment rate and a higher household income than the general population Anabolic steroid users tend to research the drugs they are taking more than other controlled substance users however the major sources consulted by steroid users include friends non medical handbooks internet based forums blogs and fitness magazines which can provide questionable or inaccurate information
Anabolic steroid users tend to be disillusioned by the portrayal of anabolic steroids as deadly in the media and in politics According to one study AAS users also distrust their physicians and in the sample had not disclosed their AAS use to their physicians Another study had similar findings showing that while of individuals using anabolic steroids for non medical purposes were willing to seek medical supervision for their steroid use lacked trust in their physicians felt that the medical community's knowledge of non medical anabolic steroid use was lacking and felt that the public has an exaggerated view of the side effects of anabolic steroid use A recent study has also shown that long term AAS users were more likely to have symptoms of muscle dysmorphia and also showed stronger endorsement of more conventional male roles A recent study in the Journal of Health Psychology showed that many users believed that steroids used in moderation were safe
Anabolic steroids have been used by men and women in many different kinds of professional sports to attain a competitive edge or to assist in recovery from injury These sports include bodybuilding weightlifting shot put and other track and field cycling baseball wrestling mixed martial arts boxing football and cricket Such use is prohibited by the rules of the governing bodies of most sports Anabolic steroid use occurs among adolescents especially by those participating in competitive sports It has been suggested that the prevalence of use among high school students in the U S may be as high as Male students used anabolic steroids more frequently than female students and on average those that participated in sports used steroids more often than those that did not
Available forms edit
A vial of injectable testosterone cypionate
There are four common forms in which anabolic steroids are administered oral pills injectable steroids creams gels for topical application and skin patches Oral administration is the most convenient Testosterone administered by mouth is rapidly absorbed but it is largely converted to inactive metabolites and only about is available in active form In order to be sufficiently active when given by mouth testosterone derivatives are alkylated at the position e g methyltestosterone and fluoxymesterone This modification reduces the liver's ability to break down these compounds before they reach the systemic circulation
Testosterone can be administered parenterally but it has more irregular prolonged absorption time and greater activity in muscle in enanthate undecanoate or cypionate ester form These derivatives are hydrolyzed to release free testosterone at the site of injection absorption rate and thus injection schedule varies among different esters but medical injections are normally done anywhere between semi weekly to once every weeks A more frequent schedule may be desirable in order to maintain a more constant level of hormone in the system Injectable steroids are typically administered into the muscle not into the vein to avoid sudden changes in the amount of the drug in the bloodstream In addition because estered testosterone is dissolved in oil intravenous injection has the potential to cause a dangerous embolism clot in the bloodstream
Transdermal patches adhesive patches placed on the skin may also be used to deliver a steady dose through the skin and into the bloodstream Testosterone containing creams and gels that are applied daily to the skin are also available but absorption is inefficient roughly varying between individuals and these treatments tend to be more expensive Individuals who are especially physically active and or bathe often may not be good candidates since the medication can be washed off and may take up to six hours to be fully absorbed There is also the risk that an intimate partner or child may come in contact with the application site and inadvertently dose himself or herself children and women are highly sensitive to testosterone and can suffer unintended masculinization and health effects even from small doses Injection is the most common method used by individuals administering anabolic steroids for non medical purposes
The traditional routes of administration do not have differential effects on the efficacy of the drug Studies indicate that the anabolic properties of anabolic steroids are relatively similar despite the differences in pharmacokinetic principles such as first pass metabolism However the orally available forms of AAS may cause liver damage in high doses

Neuropsychiatric edit
A review in CNS Drugs determined that "significant psychiatric symptoms including aggression and violence mania and less frequently psychosis and suicide have been associated with steroid abuse Long term steroid abusers may develop symptoms of dependence and withdrawal on discontinuation of AAS" High concentrations of AAS comparable to those likely sustained by many recreational AAS users produce apoptotic effects on neurons citation needed raising the specter of possibly irreversible neurotoxicity Recreational AAS use appears to be associated with a range of potentially prolonged psychiatric effects including dependence syndromes mood disorders and progression to other forms of substance abuse but the prevalence and severity of these various effects remains poorly understood There is no evidence that steroid dependence develops from therapeutic use of anabolic steroids to treat medical disorders but instances of AAS dependence have been reported among weightlifters and bodybuilders who chronically administered supraphysiologic doses Mood disturbances e g depression hypo mania psychotic features are likely to be dose and drug dependent but AAS dependence or withdrawal effects seem to occur only in a small number of AAS users
Large scale long term studies of psychiatric effects on AAS users are not currently available In the first naturalistic long term study on ten users seven of which having completed the study found a high incidence of mood disorders and substance abuse but few clinically relevant changes in physiological parameters or laboratory measures were noted throughout the study and these changes were not clearly related to periods of reported AAS use A month study which was published in and which involved body builders and athletes suggests that the wide range of psychiatric side effects induced by the use of AAS is correlated to the severity of abuse
Diagnostic Statistical Manual assertion edit
DSM IV lists General diagnostic criteria for a personality disorder guideline that "The pattern must not be better accounted for as a manifestation of another mental disorder or to the direct physiological effects of a substance e g drug or medication or a general medical condition e g head trauma " As a result anabolic steroid users may get misdiagnosed by a psychiatrist not told about their habit
Personality profiles edit
Cooper Noakes Dunne Lambert and Rochford identified that anabolic–androgenic steroid AAS using individuals are more likely to score higher on borderline times antisocial times paranoid times schizotypal times histrionic times passive aggressive times and narcissistic times personality profiles than non users Other studies have suggested that antisocial personality disorder is slightly more likely among anabolic steroid users than among non users Pope & Katz Bipolar dysfunction substance dependency and conduct disorder have also been associated with AAS use
Mood and anxiety edit
Affective disorders have long been recognised as a complication of anabolic steroid use Case reports describe both hypomania and mania along with irritability elation recklessness racing thoughts and feelings of power and invincibility that did not meet the criteria for mania hypomania Of bodybuilders who used anabolic steroids reported unspecified mood disturbance
Aggression and hypomania edit
From the mid s onward the media reported "roid rage" as a side effect of AAS
A review determined that some but not all randomized controlled studies have found that anabolic steroid use correlates with hypomania and increased aggressiveness but pointed out that attempts to determine whether AAS use triggers violent behavior have failed primarily because of high rates of non participation A study on a nationally representative sample of young adult males in the United States found an association between lifetime and past year self reported anabolic androgenic steroid use and involvement in violent acts Compared with individuals that did not use steroids young adult males that used anabolic androgenic steroids reported greater involvement in violent behaviors even after controlling for the effects of key demographic variables previous violent behavior and polydrug use A review examining the blind studies available at that time also found that these had demonstrated a link between aggression and steroid use but pointed out that with estimates of over one million past or current steroid users in the United States at that time an extremely small percentage of those using steroids appear to have experienced mental disturbance severe enough to result in clinical treatments or medical case reports
A randomized controlled trial which involved men did not find an increase in the occurrence of angry behavior during weeks of administration of testosterone enanthate at mg week but this study screened out subjects that had previously abused steroids or had any psychiatric antecedents A trial conducted in using testosterone cypionate at mg week found that treatment significantly increased manic scores on the YMRS and aggressive responses on several scales The drug response was highly variable However of subjects exhibited minimal psychiatric effects became mildly hypomanic and subjects became markedly hypomanic The mechanism of these variable reactions could not be explained by demographic psychological laboratory or physiological measures
A study of two pairs of identical twins in which one twin used anabolic steroids and the other did not found that in both cases the steroid using twin exhibited high levels of aggressiveness hostility anxiety and paranoid ideation not found in the "control" twin A small scale study of AAS users found that cluster B personality disorders were confounding factors for aggression
Androgenic steroids are known to increase aggression with greater likelihood when compared to more anabolic steroids Trenbolone is frequently noted for its increases in aggression citation needed Equipoise is known to increase anxiety in some users citation needed
Depression and suicide edit
The relationship between AAS use and depression is inconclusive There have been anecdotal reports of depression and suicide in teenage steroid users but little systematic evidence A review found that anabolic androgenic steroids may both relieve and cause depression and that cessation or diminished use of anabolic androgenic steroids may also result in depression but called for additional studies due to disparate data In the case of suicide of a sample of those classified as AAS users reported attempting suicide during withdrawal Malone Dimeff Lombardo & Sample
Physiological edit
Depending on the length of drug abuse there is a chance that the immune system can be damaged Most of these side effects are dose dependent the most common being elevated blood pressure especially in those with pre existing hypertension
Anabolic steroids have been shown to alter fasting blood sugar and glucose tolerance tests Anabolic steroids such as testosterone also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease or coronary artery disease Acne is fairly common among anabolic steroid users mostly due to stimulation of the sebaceous glands by increased testosterone levels Conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone DHT can accelerate the rate of premature baldness for males genetically predisposed but testosterone itself can produce baldness in females
A number of severe side effects can occur if adolescents use anabolic steroids
For example the steroids may prematurely stop the lengthening of bones premature epiphyseal fusion through increased levels of estrogen metabolites resulting in stunted growth Other effects include but are not limited to accelerated bone maturation increased frequency and duration of erections and premature sexual development Anabolic steroid use in adolescence is also correlated with poorer attitudes related to health
Cancer edit
WHO organization International Agency for Research on Cancer IARC list Androgenic anabolic steroids under Group A Probably carcinogenic to humans
Cardiovascular edit
Other side effects can include alterations in the structure of the heart such as enlargement and thickening of the left ventricle which impairs its contraction and relaxation Possible effects of these alterations in the heart are hypertension cardiac arrhythmias congestive heart failure heart attacks and sudden cardiac death These changes are also seen in non drug using athletes but steroid use may accelerate this process However both the connection between changes in the structure of the left ventricle and decreased cardiac function as well as the connection to steroid use have been disputed
AAS use can cause harmful changes in cholesterol levels Some steroids cause an increase in LDL "bad" cholesterol and a decrease in HDL "good" cholesterol In addition steroids provoke a rapid increase in body weight and an accompanying rise in blood pressure both of which leave users more vulnerable to a cardiovascular event
Growth defects edit
An important side effect to mention for high school athletes because steroids can cause the premature closure of the growth plate leading to stunted growth
Feminization edit
Male with gynecomastia
See also Feminization biology
There are also sex specific side effects of anabolic steroids Development of breast tissue in males a condition called gynecomastia which is usually caused by high levels of circulating estradiol may arise because of increased conversion of testosterone to estradiol by the enzyme aromatase Reduced sexual function and temporary infertility can also occur in males Another male specific side effect that can occur is testicular atrophy caused by the suppression of natural testosterone levels which inhibits production of sperm most of the mass of the testes is developing sperm This side effect is temporary The size of the testicles usually returns to normal within a few weeks of discontinuing anabolic steroid use as normal production of sperm resumes
Masculinization edit
See also Virilization
Female specific side effects include increases in body hair permanent deepening of the voice enlarged clitoris and temporary decreases in menstrual cycles Alteration of fertility and ovarian cysts can also occur in females When taken during pregnancy anabolic steroids can affect fetal development by causing the development of male features in the female fetus and female features in the male fetus
Kidney problems edit
Kidney tests revealed that nine of the ten steroid users developed a condition called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis a type of scarring within the kidneys The kidney damage in the bodybuilders has similarities to that seen in morbidly obese patients but appears to be even more severe
Liver problems edit
High doses of oral anabolic steroid compounds can cause liver damage as the steroids are metabolized a alkylated in the digestive system to increase their bioavailability and stability Peliosis hepatis has been increasingly recognised with the use of anabolic steroids
Pharmacology edit
Mechanism of action edit
See also Steroid hormone
The human androgen receptor bound to testosterone The protein is shown as a ribbon diagram in red green and blue with the steroid shown in white
The pharmacodynamics of anabolic steroids are unlike peptide hormones Water soluble peptide hormones cannot penetrate the fatty cell membrane and only indirectly affect the nucleus of target cells through their interaction with the cell’s surface receptors However as fat soluble hormones anabolic steroids are membrane permeable and influence the nucleus of cells by direct action The pharmacodynamic action of anabolic steroids begin when the exogenous hormone penetrates the membrane of the target cell and binds to an androgen receptor located in the cytoplasm of that cell From there the compound hormone receptor diffuses into the nucleus where it either alters the expression of genes or activates processes that send signals to other parts of the cell Different types of anabolic steroids bind to the androgen receptor with different affinities depending on their chemical structure Some anabolic steroids such as methandrostenolone bind weakly to this receptor in vitro but still exhibit androgenic effects in vivo The reason for this discrepancy is not known
The effect of anabolic steroids on muscle mass is caused in at least two ways first they increase the production of proteins second they reduce recovery time by blocking the effects of stress hormone cortisol on muscle tissue so that catabolism of muscle is greatly reduced It has been hypothesized that this reduction in muscle breakdown may occur through anabolic steroids inhibiting the action of other steroid hormones called glucocorticoids that promote the breakdown of muscles Anabolic steroids also affect the number of cells that develop into fat storage cells by favouring cellular differentiation into muscle cells instead Anabolic steroids can also decrease fat by increasing basal metabolic rate BMR since an increase in muscle mass increases BMR

As the name suggests anabolic androgenic steroids have two different but overlapping types of effects anabolic meaning that they promote anabolism cell growth and androgenic or virilising meaning that they affect the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics
Some examples of the anabolic effects of these hormones are increased protein synthesis from amino acids increased appetite increased bone remodeling and growth and stimulation of bone marrow which increases the production of red blood cells Through a number of mechanisms anabolic steroids stimulate the formation of muscle cells and hence cause an increase in the size of skeletal muscles leading to increased strength
The androgenic effects of AAS are numerous Depending on the length of use the side effects of the steroid can be irreversible Processes affected include pubertal growth sebaceous gland oil production and sexuality especially in fetal development Some examples of virilizing effects are growth of the clitoris in females and the penis in male children the adult penis size does not change due to steroids medical citation needed increased vocal cord size increased libido suppression of natural sex hormones and impaired production of sperm Effects on women include deepening of the voice facial hair growth and possibly a decrease in breast size Men may develop an enlargement of breast tissue known as gynecomastia testicular atrophy and a reduced sperm count
The androgenic anabolic ratio of an AAS is an important factor when determining the clinical application of these compounds Compounds with a high ratio of androgenic to an anabolic effects are the drug of choice in androgen replacement therapy e g treating hypogonadism in males whereas compounds with a reduced androgenic anabolic ratio are preferred for anemia and osteoporosis and to reverse protein loss following trauma surgery or prolonged immobilization Determination of androgenic anabolic ratio is typically performed in animal studies which has led to the marketing of some compounds claimed to have anabolic activity with weak androgenic effects This disassociation is less marked in humans where all anabolic steroids have significant androgenic effects
A commonly used protocol for determining the androgenic anabolic ratio dating back to the s uses the relative weights of ventral prostate VP and levator ani muscle LA of male rats The VP weight is an indicator of the androgenic effect while the LA weight is an indicator of the anabolic effect Two or more batches of rats are castrated and given no treatment and respectively some AAS of interest The LA VP ratio for an AAS is calculated as the ratio of LA VP weight gains produced by the treatment with that compound using castrated but untreated rats as baseline LAc t–LAc VPc t–VPc The LA VP weight gain ratio from rat experiments is not unitary for testosterone typically – but it is normalized for presentation purposes and used as basis of comparison for other AAS which have their androgenic anabolic ratios scaled accordingly as shown in the table above In the early s this procedure was standardized and generalized throughout OECD in what is now known as the Hershberger assay
Body composition and strength improvements edit
Body weight in men may increase by – kg as a result of short term < weeks AAS use which may be attributed mainly to an increase of lean mass Animal studies also found that fat mass was reduced but most studies in humans failed to elucidate significant fat mass decrements The effects on lean body mass have been shown to be dose dependent Both muscle hypertrophy and the formation of new muscle fibers have been observed The hydration of lean mass remains unaffected by AAS use although small increments of blood volume cannot be ruled out
The upper region of the body thorax neck shoulders and upper arm seems to be more susceptible for AAS than other body regions because of predominance of androgen receptors in the upper body The largest difference in muscle fiber size between AAS users and non users was observed in type I muscle fibers of the vastus lateralis and the trapezius muscle as a result of long term AAS self administration After drug withdrawal the effects fade away slowly but may persist for more than – weeks after cessation of AAS use
Strength improvements in the range of – of baseline strength depending largely on the drugs and dose used as well as the administration period Overall the exercise where the most significant improvements were observed is the bench press For almost two decades it was assumed that AAS exerted significant effects only in experienced strength athletes A randomized controlled trial demonstrated however that even in novice athletes a week strength training program accompanied by testosterone enanthate at mg week may improve strength more than training alone does This dose is sufficient to significantly improve lean muscle mass relative to placebo even in subjects that did not exercise at all The anabolic effects of testosterone enanthate were highly dose dependent
Physical and chemical properties edit
See also List of anabolic steroids
Detection in body fluids edit
The most commonly employed human physiological specimen for detecting anabolic steroid usage is urine although both blood and hair have been investigated for this purpose The anabolic steroids whether of endogenous or exogenous origin are subject to extensive hepatic biotransformation by a variety of enzymatic pathways The primary urinary metabolites may be detectable for up to days after the last use depending on the specific agent dose and route of administration A number of the drugs have common metabolic pathways and their excretion profiles may overlap those of the endogenous steroids making interpretation of testing results a very significant challenge to the analytical chemist Methods for detection of the substances or their excretion

Popular culture[edit]
On the July 21, 2008, Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report made a comment about John McCain making a campaign stop in Canton, Ohio, and "not the crappy Canton in Georgia."[38] The comment resulted in a local uproar, with the Canton, Georgia, mayor insisting Colbert had never visited the town along with an invitation for him to do so.[38] On July 30, 2008, Colbert apologized for the story, insisting that he was incorrect and that the "real" crappy Canton was Canton, Kansas, after which he made several jokes at the Kansas town's expense.[39][40] On August 5, Colbert apologized to citizens of Canton, Georgia and Canton, Kansas, then directing his derision on Canton, South Dakota. Colbert later went on to offer a half-hearted apology to Canton, South Dakota before proceeding to mock Canton, Texas. On October 28, Colbert turned his attention back to Canton, Ohio after Barack Obama made a campaign stop there, forcing Colbert to find it "crappy."

16th century[edit]
Main article: Slavery in Colonial United States
1565
The Spanish colony of St. Augustine in Florida became the first permanent European settlement in what would become the US centuries later; it included an unknown number of African slaves.
17th century[edit]
1619
The first record of Africans in English colonial America when men were brought to the Jamestown colony who had been taken as prizes from a Spanish ship. They were treated as indentured servants, and at least one was recorded as eventually owning land in the colony.
1640
John Punch, a black indentured servant, ran away with two white indentured servants, James Gregory and Victor. After the three were captured, Punch was sentenced to serve Virginia planter Hugh Gwyn for life. This made John Punch the first legally documented slave in Virginia (and the US).[1][2][3][4][5]
1654
John Casor, a black man who claimed to have completed his term of indenture, became the first legally recognized slave-for-life in a civil case in the Virginia colony. The court ruled with his master who said he had an indefinite servitude for life.[6]
1662
Virginia law, using the principle of partus sequitur ventrem, said that children in the colony were born into their mother's social status; therefore children born to enslaved mothers were classified as slaves, regardless of their father's race or status. This was contrary to English common law for English subjects, which held that children took their father's social status.
1672
Royal African Company is founded in England, allowing slaves to be shipped from Africa to the colonies in North America and the Caribbean. England entered the slave trade.
1676
Both free and enslaved African Americans fought in Bacon's Rebellion along with English colonists.[7]
18th century[edit]

1705
The Virginia Slave codes define as slaves all those servants brought into the colony who were not Christian in their original countries, as well as those American Indians sold by other Indians to colonists.
1712
April 6 – The New York Slave Revolt of 1712.[8]
1739
September 9 – In the Stono Rebellion, South Carolina slaves gather at the Stono River to plan an armed march for freedom.[9]
1753
Benjamin Banneker designed and built the first clock in the British American colonies. He also created a series of almanacs. He corresponded with Thomas Jefferson and wrote that "blacks were intellectually equal to whites". Banneker worked with Pierre L'Enfant to survey and design a street and urban plan for Washington, D.C.[10]
1760
Jupiter Hammon has a poem printed, becoming the first published African-American poet.
1765–1767
Non-Importation Agreements – The First Continental Congress creates a multi-colony agreement to forbid importation of anything from British merchants. This implicitly includes slaves, and stops the slave trade in Philadelphia. The second similar act explicitly stops the slave trade.[11]
1770
March 5 – Crispus Attucks is killed by British soldiers in the Boston Massacre, a precursor to the American Revolution.
1773
Phillis Wheatley has her book Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral published.
1774
The first black Baptist congregations are organized in the South: Silver Bluff Baptist Church in South Carolina, and First African Baptist Church near Petersburg, Virginia.
1775
April 14 – The Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully held in Bondage holds four meetings. It was re-formed in 1784 as the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, and Benjamin Franklin would later be its president.
1776–1783 American Revolution
Thousands of enslaved African Americans in the South escape to British lines, as they were promised freedom to fight with the British. In South Carolina, 25,000 enslaved African Americans, one-quarter of those held, escape to the British or otherwise leave their plantations.[12] After the war, many African Americans are evacuated with the British for England; more than 3,000 Black Loyalists are transported with other Loyalists to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where they are granted land. Still others go to Jamaica and the West Indies. An estimated 8-10,000 were evacuated from the colonies in these years as free people, about 50 percent of those slaves who defected to the British and about 80 percent of those who survived.[13]
Many free blacks in the North fight with the colonists for the rebellion.
1777
July 8 – The Vermont Republic (a sovereign nation at the time) abolishes slavery, the first future state to do so. No slaves were held in Vermont.
1780
Pennsylvania becomes the first U.S. state to abolish slavery.
1781
In challenges by Elizabeth Freeman and Quock Walker, two independent county courts in Massachusetts found slavery illegal under state constitution and declared each to be free persons.
1783
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court affirmed that Massachusetts state constitution had abolished slavery. It ruled that "the granting of rights and privileges [was] wholly incompatible and repugnant to" slavery, in an appeal case arising from the escape of

History edit
Isolation of gonadal anabolic androgenic steroids edit
The use of gonadal steroids pre dates their identification and isolation Medical use of testicle extract began in the late th century while its effects on strength were still being studied The isolation of gonadal steroids can be traced back to when Adolf Butenandt a chemist in Marburg purified milligrams of the male hormone androstenone from tens of thousands of litres of urine This steroid was subsequently synthesized in by Leopold Ruzicka a chemist in Zurich
In the s it was already known that the testes contain a more powerful androgen than androstenone and three groups of scientists funded by competing pharmaceutical companies in the Netherlands Germany and Switzerland raced to isolate it This hormone was first identified by Karoly Gyula David E Dingemanse J Freud and Ernst Laqueur in a May paper "On Crystalline Male Hormone from Testicles Testosterone " They named the hormone testosterone from the stems of testicle and sterol and the suffix of ketone The chemical synthesis of testosterone was achieved in August that year when Butenandt and G Hanisch published a paper describing "A Method for Preparing Testosterone from Cholesterol " Only a week later the third group Ruzicka and A Wettstein announced a patent application in a paper "On the Artificial Preparation of the Testicular Hormone Testosterone Androsten one ol " Ruzicka and Butenandt were offered the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work but the Nazi government forced Butenandt to decline the honor although he accepted the prize after the end of World War II
Clinical trials on humans involving either oral doses of methyltestosterone or injections of testosterone propionate began as early as Testosterone propionate is mentioned in a letter to the editor of Strength and Health magazine in this is the earliest known reference to an anabolic steroid in a U S weightlifting or bodybuilding magazine There are often reported rumors that German soldiers were administered anabolic steroids during the Second World War the aim being to increase their aggression and stamina but these are as yet unproven Adolf Hitler himself according to his physician was injected with testosterone derivatives to treat various ailments AAS were used in experiments conducted by the Nazis on concentration camp inmates and later by the allies attempting to treat the malnourished victims that survived Nazi camps President John F Kennedy was administered steroids both before and during his presidency
Development of synthetic anabolic androgenic steroids edit
The development of muscle building properties of testosterone was pursued in the s in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Bloc countries such as East Germany where steroid programs were used to enhance the performance of Olympic and other amateur weight lifters In response to the success of Russian weightlifters the U S Olympic Team physician John Ziegler worked with synthetic chemists to develop an anabolic steroid with reduced androgenic effects Ziegler's work resulted in the production of methandrostenolone which Ciba Pharmaceuticals marketed as Dianabol The new steroid was approved for use in the U S by the Food and Drug Administration FDA in It was most commonly administered to burn victims and the elderly The drug's off label users were mostly bodybuilders and weight lifters Although Ziegler prescribed only small doses to athletes he soon discovered that those having abused Dianabol suffered from enlarged prostates and atrophied testes AAS were placed on the list of banned substances of the IOC in and a decade later the committee introduced 'out of competition' doping tests because many athletes used AAS in their training period rather than during competition
Three major ideas governed modifications of testosterone into a multitude of AAS Alkylation at alpha position with methyl or ethyl group created orally active compounds because it slows the degradation of the drug by the liver esterification of testosterone and nortestosterone at the beta position allows the substance to be administered parenterally and increases the duration of effectiveness because agents soluble in oily liquids may be present in the body for several months and alterations of the ring structure were applied for both oral and parenteral agents to seeking to obtain different anabolic to androgenic effect ratios
Society and culture edit
Legal status edit
Various compounds with anabolic and androgenic effects their relation with anabolic steroids
The legal status of anabolic steroids varies from country to country some have stricter controls on their use or prescription than others though in many countries they are not illegal In the U S anabolic steroids are currently listed as Schedule III controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act which makes simple possession of such substances without a prescription a federal crime punishable by up to one year in prison for the first offense Unlawful distribution or possession with intent to distribute anabolic steroids as a first offense is punished by up to ten years in prison In Canada anabolic steroids and their derivatives are part of the Controlled drugs and substances act and are Schedule IV substances meaning that it is illegal to obtain or sell them without a prescription however possession is not punishable a consequence reserved for schedule I II or III substances Those guilty of buying or selling anabolic steroids in Canada can be imprisoned for up to months Import and export also carry similar penalties In Canada researchers have concluded that steroid use among student athletes is extremely widespread A study conducted in by the Canadian Centre for Drug Free Sport found that nearly Canadians between the ages of and use steroids Anabolic steroids are also illegal without prescription in Australia Argentina Brazil and Portugal and are listed as Class C Controlled Drugs in the United Kingdom Anabolic steroids are readily available without a prescription in some countries such as Mexico and Thailand
United States edit
Steroid pills intercepted by the US Drug Enforcement Administration during the "Operation raw deal" bust in September
The history of the U S legislation on anabolic steroids goes back to the late s when the U S Congress considered placing anabolic steroids under the Controlled Substances Act following the controversy over Ben Johnson's victory at the Summer Olympics in Seoul During deliberations the American Medical Association AMA Drug Enforcement Administration DEA Food and Drug Administration FDA as well as the National Institute on Drug Abuse NIDA all opposed listing anabolic steroids as controlled substances citation needed citing the fact that use of these hormones does not lead to the physical or psychological dependence required for such scheduling under the Controlled Substance Act Nevertheless anabolic steroids were added to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act in the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of
The same act also introduced more stringent controls with higher criminal penalties for offenses involving the illegal distribution of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone By the early s after anabolic steroids were scheduled in the U S several pharmaceutical companies stopped manufacturing or marketing the products in the U S including Ciba Searle Syntex and others In the Controlled Substances Act anabolic steroids are defined to be any drug or hormonal substance chemically and pharmacologically related to testosterone other than estrogens progestins and corticosteroids that promote muscle growth The act was amended by the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of which added prohormones to the list of controlled substances with effect from January
United Kingdom edit
In the United Kingdom anabolic steroids are classified as class C drugs for their illegal abuse potential which puts them in the same class as benzodiazepines Anabolic steroids are in Schedule which is divided in parts Part contains most of the benzodiazepines and Part contains the anabolic and androgenic steroids
Part drugs are subject to full import and export controls with possession being an offence without an appropriate prescription There is no restriction on the possession when it is part of a medicinal product Part drugs require a Home Office licence for importation and export unless the substance is in the form of a medicinal product and is for self administration by a person

Jasmina Mukaetova ??????? ????e???? The Malagasy French Malgache are the ethnic group that forms nearly the entire population of Madagascar They are divided into two subgroups the "Highlander" Merina Sihanaka and Betsileo of the central plateau around Antananarivo Alaotra Ambatondrazaka and Fianarantsoa and the "coastal dwellers" elsewhere in the country This division has its roots in historical patterns of settlement The original Austronesian settlers from Borneo arrived between the third and tenth centuries and established a network of principalities in the Central Highlands region conducive to growing the rice they had carried with them on their outrigger canoes Sometime later a large number of settlers arrived from East Africa and established kingdoms along the relatively unpopulated coastlines
The difference in ethnic origins remains somewhat evident between the highland and coastal regions In addition to the ethnic distinction between highland and coastal Malagasy one may speak of a political distinction as well Merina monarchs in the late th and early th century united the Merina principalities and brought the neighboring Betsileo people under their administration first They later extended Merina control over the majority of the coastal areas as well The military resistance and eventual defeat of most of the coastal communities assured their subordinate position vis ŕ vis the Merina Betsileo alliance During the th and th centuries the French colonial administration capitalized on and further exacerbated these political inequities by appropriating existing Merina governmental infrastructure to run their colony This legacy of political inequity dogged the people of Madagascar after gaining independence in candidates ethnic and regional identities have often served to help or hinder their success in democratic elections
Within these two broad ethnic and political groupings the Malagasy were historically subdivided into specifically named ethnic groups who were primarily distinguished from one another on the basis of cultural practices These were namely agricultural hunting or fishing practices construction style of dwellings music hair and clothing styles and local customs or taboos the latter known in the Malagasy language as fady citation needed The number of such ethnic groups in Madagascar has been debated The practices that distinguished many of these groups are less prevalent in the st century than they were in the past But many Malagasy are proud to proclaim their association with one or several of these groups as part of their own cultural identity
