Question:
Is taking steroids a mortal sin?
Answer:
If the steroids are being taken for a legitimate therapeutic purpose, there is no sin. If they are being taken for an immoral or illegal purpose, such as to cheat at sports, then that would be grave matter and one of the conditions necessary for mortal sin (the others being full knowledge and deliberate consent).
