Addiction to Drugs/steroid use in 2004

Question
I am curious about the latest trends in steroid usage on the high school, college, and professional level. Is it on the rise/decline? What methods/types of steroids are athletes using currently? and what are the effects of these steroids?
I am not familiar wityh that aspect of drug addiction. But it is is somewhat worrying that people are seeking instantaneous happiness by resort to drug. This reflect the 'pill for every ill' society we live in and promoted by manufacturers of chemicals.
Drug addiction is on the rise and emotional instabilitry is also very much related to increased sugar consumption.
In fact sugar can be seen as a psychotropic drug, that may lead to addiction to other chemical substances.
