Should be completely banned. I have witnessed first hand the effects of them on horses. They make horses crazy, and can mask an injury very easily. Also, if used improperly, they can make a stallion infertile. I've seen quite a few nice AQHA halter horses have to be put down prematurely due to steroid use. I really don't see the use of them. It puts owners/trainers at different stables on different playing levels because some owners won't use them on their horses.
