Steroids In Sports? No News Flash There

TweetSteroids In Sports? No News Flash There


Steroid use is so blown out of proportion and is an embarrassment for me as an American. Steroids have been used by bodybuilders, strongmen athletes, and football players for decades. The athletes today are superior to the athletes of old by far and this is a major factor why people look at athletes as that they are on something. When analyzing the three biggest and well known steroid users who are Bonds, Benoit, and Marion you get three different types of sports and usage.

When steroid use is discussed, the first person in sports that is mentioned is Barry Bonds. The guy has never failed a test and it has never been proven. We might believe with good reason that he has used because anybody that lifts and plays sports knows at one time or another most big guys got that way with steroid use unless they were genetic freaks.

The reason Bonds is a big issue right now is the records that he has broken and the fact that he is so bigger in stature than he was than when he started. Bonds is also the one athlete that has opened the floodgates of debate to have testing of all athletes in all sports in all levels. This is why the government is now pushing the envelope on exposing Bonds in the indictment and proving that anyone is suspect and enforcing testing on any athletics in America. Then there is Chris Benoit, whose story is dramatic and tragic and relates steroid use with murder.

A guy who obviously was troubled and used steroids and opened the debate: is steroid use not only harmful to the body but also is it a factor to causing someone to commit murder? People in the bodybuilding community have been aware of roid rages and now so are people all accross America. This story makes most believe with good reason that people who take steroids are in danger of damaging their mind as well as their body.

To come full circle we have Marion Jones, a supreme athlete who enhanced her phenominal speed to new levels by testing positive for steroids. In a sport in the Olympics with such stringent testing the world is least effected knowing that even the fastest man Justin Gatlin was stripped of his metals as well as Jones we as the public know that the sport has never been tainted. The Olympics are worldwide and our nation is being exposed as cheaters and steroid users. We as a nation now have a black eye because our athletes are being exposed as steroid users.

Right now in sports every record that gets broken by an athlete that is big and devloped will be questioned and type cast as a steroid user with no way of proving his innocence unless testing is done stringently from high school on up. The government has now pushed the envolope with the biggest names in sports being prosecuted and looked into and to be honest this is the only way sports will get back to records being broken without questioning if the athlete cheated and took performance enhancing drugs.

Until testing in every sport is emplimented and the public believes the athletes on tv are not on something there will be the debate that was only ignored until the late 90's when Mcgwire and Sosa made their famous run for the Maris record of 61 homeruns. Mcgwire will now have to pay the price by not getting voted in the Hall of Fame by not getting a vote of 70%that is needed to get in because most believe he was juicing.

The votes are in, people who are big, fast, and strong are questioned and noticed by everyone and their mother. For someone who hates to say it but the government actually has to step in and enforce the testing that sports desperately needs. What has this world come to?
