Some atheletes take steroids in an attempt to enhance their physical performance. This can lead to decreased sperm production and even sterility. What is the most likely explanation for this effect?
1. Increased stimulation of anterior pituitary to produce LH
2. Excessive growth of testicular tissue
3. Suppression of the natural production of thyroxine due to the destruction of thyroid tissue
4. Interference in the proper negative feedback control of testosterone
