While many scientists believe anabolic steroids -- synthetic drugs related to male sex hormones -- are linked to aggressive behavior, research has been limited. Some users refer to so-called 'roid rage' fueled by the drugs.

'We're finding that steroid users are more likely to become violent, even above and beyond their prior levels of violence,' said Kevin Beaver of Florida State University's College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, whose study appears in the American Journal of Public Health."
