I'm surprised you mentioned steroids before creatine. Steroids are well-established to be bad for you, whereas creatine has undergone a moderate amount of testing with no evidence of negative side-effects (though it hasn't been studied long enough for long-term side effects to be ruled out). I haven't done a ton of research, but here are my main sources:
"ISSN exercise & sport nutrition review: research & recommendations", Kreider et al. "Effects of creatine supplementation on performance and training adaptations", Richard Kreider
You wouldn't be if you knew me. You'd be picturing the twinkle in my eye as I gave the literal answer to the question before acknowledging the impracticality and giving safe but far less effective alternative.
