a. ligaments
b. muscles

Steroids are known to increase muscle mass and strength. However, they do not strengthen ligaments or tendons. Ligaments connect bones to bones and tendons connect muscles to bones. When an athlete takes steroids, the rapid increase in muscle strength can outpace the development of ligaments and tendons, making them more prone to injury as they are not as strong as the muscles they are attached to.
