Since the late 1980s, many athletes have been linked to steroids and PEDs use. Perhaps, baseball is the sport with the greatest steroid controversies. Some of the biggest and greatest names in baseball have been linked to steroids use, especially in the BALCO scandal.

The most famous being Barry Bonds, who is well known for breaking Hank Aaron’s home run record. These days, he is also known for another thing, his association with steroids. Bonds, no matter how great his records are in baseball, could never get a contract with any MLB teams and spent all his 2008 with no activity.

In 2003, Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative was accused of supplying anabolic steroids, HGH and other performance-enhancing drugs to professional players in the MLB and in US Track and Field. Some of those athletes include Jason Giambi, Bill Romanowski and Marion Jones.

Added to the BALCO scandal was the list of 104 players who failed the drug test in 2003. The list was supposed to be kept confidential until federal authorities illegally seized the list during a BALCO related search.

Regardless of the advantages it could bring to an athlete’s professional career, the side effects could not be ignored. Its life-long effect in the reputation of professional sports can also be detrimental.

From Bleacher Report:

A new era of baseball is in progress. Pitchers with 210 strikeouts a season, hitters getting over 500 home runs a year with 40 stolen bases. All regular statistics nowadays, but are they legit?

Ever since the late 1980s many sports figures (mostly baseball) have been linked to PED’s (Performance Enhancing Drugs). Some of these athletes include the biggest names in baseball. Even though the testing and tolerance level has grown stricter and stricter over the years drug use has continued to increase
