there are no drugs in existence that can trigger actions within someone. addiction is the closest there is which "highly motivates" people to get more of what they are addicted to. in this case, the drug [Anabolic-androgenic] steroids causes an imbalance of various hormones can lead to volatile emotional reactions, most notably "roid rage." while it can make someone enraged, the person is still controls their actions.
personally, i was driving out of the parking lot, when i was in high school and as always it was a massive jam of cars. i turned before a guy from a different direction could get through and he jumped out of his car and punched my window. it was well known he was on the drug.
