25. No, but I've seen what prednisone does
Also I had a professor in college who was very wary of any type of hormone, which basically most steroids are a form of. I wouldn't let my mother do HRT because her mother had breast cancer. I have no reason to think that men are somehow less prone to having dangerous health issues because of them. They have the same basic chemical structures--large complex molecules which can easily stick to the arteries and make it hard on the liver as well. Why would I feel comfortable with people taking something that raises ones risk for heart attacks, strokes, liver damage and more.
We all condemn eating animals that are shot full of growth hormones and other steroids so why should anyone believe its healthy to inject the same substances directly into our bodies?
