There are many forms of steroids. Many of the steroids that players are using are performance enhancing drugs. The reason that the players are using the drugs are because they want to be able to be better then everyone on there team and everyone on the other teams. Steroids are supposed to make you lose weight and gain muscle. When a baseball player gains muscle it make the player be an all around better player because baseball is a game is strength and skill.
Steroids and legal muscle enhancers today have had a big impact on people, sports, the Olympics and other activities. Steroids are illegal substances, which increase your muscle size, and increase your body physically to perform at top notch level. The most known steroid issue to date is in baseball, with Barry Bonds. The reason Bonds is such a big deal right now is because of the records he is chasing and the records he has already broken. Barry Bonds and other athletes have been accused of using illegal steroids to help themselves boost their statistics, and ability to play the game better.
Usually setting up a game in order for someone to earn money a cheating way.

The permitted use of steroids in Major League Baseball would destroy the integrity of the game and create major health problems for players after their careers.

An anti-doping program in the U.S tries to prevent sport athlete from cheating; unfortunately, became less strict often blocked by unions and contracts. The athletic drug testing is simple and straightforward, but another way is “mandate” force the athlete to agree to participate and have to obey the rules of the sport. In today world there, a great challenge determining to detect enhancing drugs because continually new chemicals make it nearly detectable. For example, “gene doping” a newly created enhance drugs that athletes can inject making them build muscle, which essentially be non-detectable.

Baseball has long been the pastime in American sports and the steroid use has caused an upset due to the tradition of the game (Carise). Players see using steroids as an artificial advantage compared to the earliest days of the sport (Carise). Players have made statements, such as “…in 2003, David “Boomer” Wells claimed that up to 40 percent of major leaguers use steroids” (Carise). In 2005, Jose Canseco who was a known steroid user for his entire career said, “…that up to 80 percent of major leaguers had taken steroids” (Carise). Testing in baseball did not begin until 2003 and steroids did not make Major League Baseball’s banned substance list until 1991 (Carise).
Americans think differently from Chinese people because we have more independence than them. In the book the Brave Dragons, the team had to go through these difficult and extensive training sessions that were supposed to get them better. Derek Jeter is an example, in his career he had to become a better player because he was doing too many mistakes. To get better he went to a training camp where he practice his catching skills and also his batting skills. When we talk about the different paradigm between the American and the Chinese, Derek Jeter accomplishment apply to the American paradigm because Jeter loved baseball since he was a little boy and always knew he was going to join the New York Yankees.
I'll wonder, like everyone else, how much Ramirez's performance was chemically enhanced. Less debatable is the fact that he transformed the 2008 Los Angeles Dodgers. People like me made a case for him as the National League's first two-month MVP, then spent the offseason castigating the McCourts for not bidding against themselves. As it concerned Manny and the Dodgers, they owed him. Frank McCourt and Manny Ramirez in much happier times.
I would also ask him if he didn’t have ALS where he think he’d be. It would be hard to ask questions to someone like him, in my opinion because of his situation. You wouldn’t want to ask the wrong thing and make someone like him mad or something like that. In conclusion, Lou Gehrig was an all time baseball player, he had the looks, he had over 400 home runs but also he had a disease which was later named after him. People now still suffer from this disease and Gehrig still remains a legend.
Manny Ramirez, who will go down as one of baseball’s most feared hitters, was suspended for 50 games at the beginning of the 2009 season for using steroids. Home-run records and batting averages are steadily rising as steroids use is becoming more and more prevalent in Major League Baseball. Much of the professional baseball audience includes young high school and college athletes. What do you think they assume about steroids? High school and college athletes are now starting to use steroids, after seeing how much success professional athletes have, without realizing the risks.
