They work in different ways. Human growth hormone is a chemical children's bodies make that causes them to grow. We have figured out how to isolate it so we can give it to children who aren't growing fast enough. But people who are already full grown can also take it and grow bigger. In some sports more size is an advantage. Anabolic steroids help build muscle. By taking them you can build up muscles and strength. There's a drug called epoetin that is given to people who have chronic anemia. Their blood doesn't have enough iron--this is usually caused by a kidney problem because our excess iron is stored in the kidneys. Anemia makes them weak and they tire very easily. The drug helps their blood to hold onto oxygen so they can do better. But a healthy person can take it to get more strength and endurance. There are drugs that work on the mind, speeding it up for short periods of time. Caffeine does this but there are much stronger drugs that make you sharper, more alert, just for the time of one game.
