No. Steroids are used to allow the muscle tissue to hold more water and aid in synthesizing proteins and formation of glycogen. This retention of water allows the muscle to also become more oxygenated, all of which gives a strenght increase as well as size increase. Growth as far as (tall or short) are defined by your DNA Dioxyribonuclaic Acid, your genetic code. Using steroids to increase mass beyond what your natural body will allow, will of course give you that wider, bulkier look. This bulky and wide look from steroid use can have an optical illusion effect of looking shorter than you really are. It actually happened to me...After a season of heavy steroid use and weight training 7 days a week for a couple of years, I was very massive and very defined as well, (kinda what you see in a body builder magazine). A friend of mine took a pic of me solo and a female who I did'nt know asked him how tall I was, he replied 5' 11"...She said hmm, he only looks like 5'7". There is one caveat though, taking steroids and getting stronger means lifting heavier weights...this can cause spinal compression and hurt the discs, while it is temporary compression that can be fixed from days off, relaxation and sleep, you could actually measure yourself to be about 1/2" shorter by the end of day. The next day after proper rest without lifting you would gain that 1/2" back as your spine decrompresses itself.
