Today’s version of baseball and other sports are tainted by the use of steroids and other muscle gaining agents. In 2001 Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs: a single season record. A mere 5 years later Barry Bonds tested positive for the use of performance enhancing drugs also known as steroids. That is what Americans kids are looking up to and taking after. When a High School athlete sees a professional athlete having success due to steroids, their mind is manipulated into using steroids. The use of steroids is detrimental to everyone.…

    Richard L. Worsnop offers multiple different points about high school sports and athletes. Concerns about the oppression of young athletes and debating if high school athletics “builds character”, are some of the main issues pointed out. Some coaches believe interscholastic sports competitions teach everything about character and teamwork, while others believe overemphasizing a win can teach the growth of negative character traits. Meanwhile, there are no doubts that certain drugs can enhance an athlete’s performance, but this can lead to injury and other harmful effects. High school athletes are sometimes considered, “dumb jocks”, which leads to the question if student athletes should maintain a certain grade-point average. Some players think…

    What if people used performance enhancing drugs in sports? Are there any side effects from using PEDs? Should professional athletes use them? What if I use them just to be a little better in sports? Many people would argue that legalizing performance enhancing drugs will make professional and recreational sports better. They think sports as a whole will be raised to the next level of entertainment. Despite this belief, sports can only be brought down from the use of these drugs; if an athlete has no skill or natural ability performance enhancing drugs will only hurt them.…

    In many places around the world today, sports competitions are increasing in popularity due to the quest to win, to be the best. Many athletes will do anything to win, whether that means breaking the rules or cheating. The desire to win is imbedded into all humans, especially when professional athletes of today’s age are becoming icons and are viewed as figures of greatness by their rare abilities to perform at such a high level. The quest for money and fame is also a common reason for athletes to cheat or bend the rules. Steroid use is the most common form of cheating in all sports today. Other than the fact that they are harmful to your body, they are taking away from sports and sending the wrong messages to aspiring athletes. The issue that is currently being addressed in the sports industry is that if so many people are already using steroids, such as bodybuilders and athletes, then why not make them legal and let people use them at their own risk? Or rather should we just keep them illegal due to their harmful health risks and promotion of unfair advantages in sports?…

    Drug abuse is a major problem in our society as a whole and increasingly within our youth. In recent years, many school districts have implemented student athlete drug testing programs within their schools. Athletes were targeted because student athletics are voluntary and the "athletes are often held to higher standards than other students, keeping their grades up for example" (Tantillo, Wen & Morgo, 1995, p. A22).…
