The aim of the study was to compare narcissism levels of bodybuilding athletes in elite level before and after anabolic steroid cure. Method: The sample group of the study was composed of a total of 42 bodybuilding athletes who use steroids and voluntarily participated in the study. A control group of 22 people was also established and they did not use steroids. Personality Inventory was used as a data collection tool. 16-question Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-16) was coordinated by Daniel R. Ames and his colleagues at Colombia University. Paired sample t-test and descriptive statistical analysis were applied in the analysis of the data. Results: Before the steroid cure, the athletes' narcissism level was found to be (8, 5714), after steroid cure, the athletes' narcissism level was found to be (13, 4286). Conclusion: According to the statistical analysis results, it was determined that there was an increase in narcissism levels of the athletes after steroid cure.
