Some athletes take a form of steroids - known as anabolic-androgen steroids or just anabolic steroids - to increase their muscle mass and strength. Epoetin, a synthetic form of erythropoietin, is commonly used by endurance athletes. It increases production of red blood cells and hemoglobin, resulting in improved movement of oxygen to the muscles.
