A study by Perry et al.
[57] attempted to clarify the supposed relationship between
supraphysiological doses of AASs and increased aggression,
which is believed to be associated with high plasma
testosterone levels. Ten weightlifters with AAS use and 18
without were interviewed using the Modified Mania Rating
Scale, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, the BussDurkee
Hostility Inventory, the Point Subtraction Aggression
Paradigm, and the Personality Disorder Questionnaire
