Doping Bad or Good?

Doping, Bad or Good?

Think back to your first time learning that maybe one of your favorite athletes was a steroid user. It broke your heart didn't it? Knowing that your favorite athlete was fake. Well this doesn't have to happen really. Some people have opinions on steroids. Whether they are legal or not people still use them. But have those people thought how to make them safer? Steroids used equally by all athletes would create a more exciting and safer sports environment.

The athletes that actually play without steroids are mad about losing to steroid users.4% of twelfth graders used steroids in 2002. Over the years that number has probably gotten bigger. (Tolliver) According to Consumer Health Daily. I think this might make the real players a little mad because it’s unfair. Steroids make you stronger and faster but gives you an unfair advantage. Using steroids puts you at risk for so many things. You could become sterile or develop breasts. But steroids don't have to be bad.

Thinking like a scientist now how could you make this safer? Well with doctors help they could experiment and finally end this feud. Think about it if something is illegal and not used and tested as much it will have flaws. Just make steroids legal and wallah! Steroids will be safer and sports will be so interesting now. I personally think that this would help the sports industry a lot with views. Making steroids legal and safe has some ups and downs. Ups are more views, more revenue, more fun, get paid more. The downs are maybe disease or side effects. Not that big!

You know those players like Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez. Everybody thinks that they were so good but guess what they did steroids. But you probably didn't notice did you? See you don't notice those things. So what if everyone used steroids it'll actually look really the same, as normal sports just a little better. I don’t think it would be necessarily be bad if they just tried it. If it’s safe for people than it should be used by professionals no doubt. ESPN took a survey on whether they should use steroids or not out of 500 people. 359 said Yes they should use them and 141 said no its wrong. Now why don't you look at that!

When you’re watching the game you expect the best athletes to be playing but not all of them are steroids free. The thing is you don't notice that some are using steroids. So nobody cares if they are actually using them, so why does it matter? Why do people care so much after and not during? Its because people bandwagon. Bandwagoning is getting on board with someone’s else’s idea. That’s what the majority of people do. Which isn't always smart. Steroids don't have to be bad they can be safe for athletes but only if we try.
