There are a number of responses that don't make me comfortable.
The clearest reasoning for why anabolic or androgenic steroids' are NOT given in the context for recovery strength or function in a professional medical setting are that:

- it has unintended consequences that can be long-lasting
- the expected consequences of use are more harmful than the regular recovery
- and that these can be quite harmful, enough that the use of AAS isn't necessary.
