Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Among the most dangerous ergogenic practices is the use of anabolic steroid hormones. The body's natural steroid hormones stimulate muscle growth in response to physical activity in both men and women. Injections of fake hormones produce muscle size and strength far beyond that attainable by training alonebut at great risk to health. These drugs are both illegal in sports and dangerous to the taker, yet athletes often use them without medical supervision, simply taking someone's word for their safety. The list of damaging side effects of steroids is long and includes:
 Extreme mental hostility; aggression; personality changes; suicidal thoughts.
 Swollen face; severe, scarring acne; yellowing of whites of eyes (jaundice).
 Elevated risk of heart attack, stroke; liver damage, liver tumors, fatal liver failure; kidney damage; bloody diarrhea.
 In females, irreversible deepening of voice, loss of fertility, shrinkage of breasts, permanent enlargement of external genitalia.
 In males, breast enlargement, permanent shrinkage of testes, prostate enlargement, sexual dysfunction, and loss of fertility.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
