Such as steroids, that improves athlete’s performance increasing 40 percent the chances of winning each games. In fact, medical arguments against of using enhancing drugs because it can cause major health risk to the human body and increase behaviors. Every competitive sport has rules to be follow. They created to ensure a fair game and an even playing field for all competitors. 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.
In “ Anabolic Steroids: An Ethnographic Approach” Paul J. Goldstein states “ I suspect that if a pill or an injectable were available that was touted to guarantee such a competitive edge in business, or in grant writing, it would be used eagerly.” This is a strong statement because automatically it puts your perspective on steroids in retrospect. By stating this Paul J. Goldstein puts the way he feels athletes look at steroids, in a way that anyone would look at steroids if it were for their craft. If steroids were used to give you a competitive edge in business how would it be any different than steroids being used in athletics? With that being said, athletes aren't the only people using theses performance enhancing drugs. It seems like at any local Power house, or any big name gym you could point out steroid use or average people that use steroids.

Clorox also has a large marketing budget, an experienced research and development team and most importantly, brand recognition. Clorox can use their large market share to attract customers to new or improved products. Also brand recognition will be very important in the sale of the faucet filtration systems. They claim to have the best tasting water and according to their research, customers are more concerned about taste than removing contaminants. Even though the Brita products are a bit more expensive, people are willing to pay at that price for greater tasted water.
Colton Torrance 11/21/13 Philosophy Term Paper Why steroid use for athletic enhancement is not morally wrong The use of steroids for athletic enhancement has been one of the most contentious aspects of many sports for the last couple of decades. With the innovation of more enhanced drug tests along with improved performance-enhancing drugs, this matter has only become more prevalent. At almost any level of sports, whether it be high school football or the Olympics, steroid use is practiced world-wide at an increasing rate. Furthermore, despite the attempts to prevent the use of steroids by the NCAA, WADA, and any other association/organization that drug tests athletes, which cost more money every year due to the need to test more athletes
He invented it in Florida in 1965 when the head coach of the Florida Gators football team told him about his players being extremely dehydrated during practice because they were in very high temperatures and humidity. Also he found out they were losing
He drank a lot, and admitted during his playing days he was not a very good father. After he retired, he went through deep depression and started drinking to a point where he became a raging alcoholic. Mickey admitted himself to the Betty Ford clinic, and it is here he learned that if he took one more drink, it would kill him. Being in the clinic brought Mickey into perspective of how revered he was. He got more mail than anyone had before him.
Athletic injuries, particularly in the weight room, are not given enough attention. I feel, as a personal trainer, I am one of the people responsible for making safety a bigger concern and raising awareness. PROBLEM/PURPOSE My article is titled, “Being safe in the weight room: proper supervision and correct form are critical in keeping athletes safe.” One of the articles main examples of safety neglect is an injury that happened in late September 2009 when University of Southern California senior running back Stafon Johnson suffered a traumatic injury to his throat and neck while completing bench pressing. The 275 pounds fell on Johnson’s throat as he was trying to complete the rep. This led to seven hours of surgery to repair his trachea.
“Most emergency physicians assume a runner or a cyclist who gets a little goofy is dehydrayted and needs more water or [sugar}, but in the process you can treat them to death,” says Carl Foster, PhD. “If you leave them alone their kidneys will sort things out (MacReady 1). Dehydration may result rapidly from exercise and sweating because large percentages of fluid are loss during these periods. In the warmest race ever since 1987, the 2004 Boston Marathon had more than 1,100 runners suffering from dehydration, heat ailments, and other medial problems (DeMarco, Smith 1). “By 7 p.m., Newton-Wellesley had treated 72 runners, mainly for dehydration” (DeMarco, Smith 1).
Everything comes down to a couple of minutes, why not insure that the body is running at peak performance, or even better? That question is exactly the reason that the international community created WADA, the world anti-doping association, in early 1999 (“Doping at the Olympics”). WADA’s job was to monitor and regulate drug use in sports and international competition. But are they doing enough? I believe that WADA isn’t going far enough.
