Steroids can benefit athletes for a decade after use, and even if they adopt the method for shorter periods, it can help them for their entire careers, suggests new research.

The scientist behind the study says that if a similar effect can be shown in humans, it should lead to a lifetime ban for dopers, the report said.
Norwegian scientists had previously published work that showed the existence of a muscle memory, the report added.
This suggested that if people exercised when they were young, their muscles grew more easily when they exercised later in life, the report further said.
