Steroids are generally not good for you. Whilst they improve weight gain and muscle development over time your muscles will be more at risk from injury, deterioration. Fatalities have been associated with steroid's. Also, it can decrease your sex drive and increase moodiness, and much more. However, steroids do have a positive nature, such as increase in strength, muscle mass, and (if suffering an injury) recovery rate. Most areas of the sporting world now undertake random urine sampling to detect steroid users as steroids give an unfair advantage to the user. When found the sports bodies will ban and individual anywhere from a year to life.

It would no longer be about who trains the hardest and who has the most drive to win, but about who can score and use the best drugs. Basic laws of economics would creep into the sports, and all would be left would be steroid users. Drug dealers would be profit nicely, and as they compete, violence may result. Also, if someone uses steroids as a way to win at all costs, then what would happen if the entire team used steroids, and steroids and training would not be enough to win? Then what would they do? Cheat and bribe their way to the top, and go to bed with the officials? So once one form of dishonesty is allowed and sanctioned, other forms will creep in next.

Data on anabolic steroid use in sports is hard to come by as they are banned in most sports. But there are many different types of steroids so they are used in a broad spectrum of sports. Steroids that help with endurance can be used in sports like distance running and swimming. Steroids assoisciated with strength will be used in sports such as weightlifting and wrestling.

So in answer to your question anabolic steroids are commonly used in many sports and are not more highly assosciated with any one sport in particular.
