Although it is not yet manifested scientifically whether uncontrolled aggressiveness is a side effect of steroids, these products are demonized for certain crimes quite often.
Michael Barton, a person from Britain, hit a Ford Fiesta, while he was driving his Volkswagen Golf. Paul Gard was driving the Ford Fiesta. Barton had overtaken Paul Gard. But then he had to pull back in front of Paul Gard, since another car was driving the other way. Paul Gard flashed him. So, he had to brake suddenly. Barton became furious, stopped his Volkswagen Golf, broke the wing mirror of Gard’s Ford Fiesta and hit the man in the face. Then Gard’s wife called police. While she was calling, Barton left calmly.
Michael Barton, a 21-year-old person who has a son of two years old, takes steroids for bulking effects. Thus, it has been claimed that these medicines affected his behavior. The defense attorney for this young person claimed that steroids influenced on temperament of his client, since these preparations enhanced his levels of testosterone.
Earlier Barton was convicted for several crimes, including domestic violence. Last year this young person pleaded guilty to an assault, criminal damage and driving incautiously because of his anger following assaults.
The judge Patrick Hooton affirmed that he was not sure that steroids were responsible for the case. But he noticed that it was totally mad to become infuriated and hit a man in the face just because he flashed him. The judge noticed that Barton’s behavior was very shameful and he announced: “you ought to go to prison”.
Thus, this young man was given 6-month jail sentence suspended for a year; he was also sentenced to pay 500 dollars in compensation and ?277 for damage of the car.
