The athlete job is to perform better and not to underperform, with the increase of performance drugs used will also increase its tickets sell since this is a business they are talking about (Smith) The cost of increasing a athletes performance is too much money when a simple dose of performance enhancement drug is way cheaper than valuable machinery to enhance a athlete skill in the sport. As more and more people are switching one sport to another because of the entertainment such as American football which only 1,868, are test and only 111 are test positive for the use of performance drugs (Gay). The number of dope cases in the Olympic are unreasonably low out of 26,000 players only 119 players are tested positive from 1968 to 2012 (“Doping Cases at the Olympics, 1968-2012”). As for weightlifting 36 are tested positive out of the 127 in sport in the spring Olympics. (“Doping Cases at the Olympics, 1968-2012”).

Performance Enhancing Drugs PEDs is a widely used drug that gives the athlete an advantage which is really difficult to put an end to (Smith). The golden age of baseball was taken back in the 1990 till the early 2000’s which the Performance Enhancing Drugs was something that most players were usually taking and was common (Smith). Jose Canseco is someone who ended the Steroid era admitting the use of PEDs with Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire.

“Ask anyone with a decent knowledge of sports and current events, and they will tell you: doping in sport is a problem” (Ashby). The sport is where it needs to be at right now with the ban of steroids PEDs. Athletes that had used steroids and been caught while using it have been through rough times and the fans disliking the player feeling as if they betrayed its fans (Ashby). “The threats of using steroids is repercussions, including affected liver, endocrine, and reproductive function, tumors of the liver and kidneys, heart conditions, and psychiatric symptoms” (Ashby). Steroids can be used more than the recommended dose. Steroids are used with a mixed with other steroids meaning athletes will take more than different steroids at a time (Ashby).

Performance Enhancing Drugs are very beneficial to not only the players but the sport organization. The sport can attract new audience and maybe the old audience from the players being as if they were machines hitting the ball so hard that it will amaze the audience (Lemco). If cigarettes are legal and players are allowed to take cigars why can't they take steroids since they both have long term health effects? The sport is getting old and needs something new to refresh it here and there. That Performance Enhancing Drugs are called for a reason it enhances the player body, giving lance Armstrong the ability to out cycled his competitors and made Barry Bonds Hitting 762 home runs (Lemco). Professional athletes are being put into a cell because of their health (Lemco). That is what made the athlete so they can put their life on the sport and see what he is truly made out of (Lemco). Banning PED just to so the player cannot increase its performance just doesn't add up (Lemco). It's not for the purpose of the sport, it is for the audience to entertain them (Lemco). It cannot be argued that Performance Enhancing Drugs increased the popularity of MLB and maybe had saved the sport. The comparison from game 7’s in 2001 and 2002 which had 39.1 and down to 30.8 million.
