But this drug is ruining the game just as fast as it is ruing people’s lives. It’s being abused in many ways because in today’s world, you need to be the biggest, the strongest, and the fastest in order to be the best. Steroids give athletes an easy way to do that. Professional’s use it, and it rains down through college athletes, who only want to become professionals, and all the way down to youth athletes, who only want to be like their idols. What all these athletes are overlooking is the serious harm that it can do to your body, inside and out.
You should have to pay for what every you do in sports, but the cost should not be with your life. The Sport Council has set a rule that all athletes in professional sport should be tested for drugs. To prevent them from taking drug that has been banned or any other form of drugs. As stated MacAuley (1996) the Sports Council offers an information system so that athletes may find out about various agents and help protect themselves against the inadvertent use of a banned substance, but not only banned be any form of enhancements. Ethically, what are the consequences for using these form of performance- enhancement?
In many sports today steroids is becoming a more and more evident problem. The game has evolved and the many athletes believe that the only way to keep up is with steroids. While steroids can give someone an edge over another it is cheating and there should be a zero tolerance rule set up in all sports at all levels Athletes that use these performance enhancing drugs should be immediately ejected from whatever organization they are members of. I see this as the only logical punishment for doing such a thing as cheating. Many athletes use anabolic steroids to increase muscle mass and strength.
However, studies have shown that the majority of the public are against the use of steroids in professional sports. The main reason being, that it ruins the integrity of the game and the high standards of sportsmanship and character that come along with being a professional athlete. Barry Bonds and all who have violated the rules and cheated to get to the top, should pay the ramifications and not be allowed into the Hall of Fame, the game’s greatest
Introduction Imagine huge, bulking, muscles without an ounce of fat anywhere to be seen on the human body! How is this possible? Anabolic Steroids can make this fantasy a reality but with a price. When one thinks about steroid users, pictures of hulking monsters come to mind; however, the most common users are unprofessional, amateur weightlifters. Known on the streets as “roids,” Anabolic Steroids can have dire effects on the body.
Sylvia Etim Instructor Tim Nelson English 1013 (012) 2 April 2015 The Pressure of the Public Sometimes people are oppressed into doing what they know that is wrong. The essay “We, the Public, Place the Best Athletes on Pedestals” by William Moller talks about how most athletes and students use performance enhancing drugs in order to achieve their goals. In his essay, Moller defends the athletes by arguing that the major reason they use the steroids is because of the pressure being put on them from the public and the desire to live up to their expectations. Moller uses an essential strategy at the beginning of his essay by using his personal experience to make readers to understand his view of point. He also
Nick Labowitz June 20, 2012 Paper #2 A Community Issue The Cheat of Looking Good Steroids can make you the man you have always dreamed; it can defy genetics and is simply a cheat code for anybody builder. Genetics determine what our body types will be and what we have a disposition to in our physical appearance. The point of this paper is that body builders want to alter their physical shape and if genetics interfere, steroids may help them to change their physical selves. Steroids are illegal drugs and should not be used by any group of people. Drug use is a thing that affects every community in one way or another.
It appears as though most sports enthusiasts are opposed to the use of steroids in sports due to the mass amounts of trials which have come about in recent years, however I think that steroids are not exactly hurting the game because the only ones they really hurt are the players in a medical sense. I do see how people are opposed to steroid use in baseball because it is America's past-time and having people break records due to unfair advantage that they possess due to medical breakthroughs, which were not present during the early days of
Eric Ponder WR 115- Laurence 1.2 10/14/12 Steroids Here is a fun fact for you: Did you know steroids got it’s start long ago? People used to eat animal testicles before competing in sporting events thinking it would better their stamina and give them better endurance. Through the years doctors have changed it chemically into pills and injections. It affects every sport today, even our youth sports. In the early 20th century Russia was using steroids in the Olympic games giving them the upper hand in weight lifting.
In todays society, steroids in sports is a very common topic as there are starting to be more and more cases of such use happening. The current ruling is that anabolic steroids are not allowed in any type of sanctioned competition however, this rule should be reconsidered and abolished. Anabolic steroids should be allowed in sports because it would improve the level of competition, regulate the so called talent that each player has, as well as allow athletes to achieve a new level of performance. To best understand why steroids should be allowed it is important to understand what they are, the different variations and types, and what they can be used for. The term steroids are often misused to describe any performance enhancing drug.
