Steroids in Sports

======================================================

======================================================

Steroids in sports, particularly baseball right now, have caused quite a stir in the United States. In fact, at this point, I think it’s probably generally assumed that most professional athletes currently use or have used steroids at some point in their careers. The bar for success in these sports is raised so high right now it would be very difficult to compete without them.

Even so, even the U.S. government is trying to implement or, at the very least, encourage change. President Bush is calling for professional athletes to “set better examples for children”.

Sports organizations are taking steps to help stop the use of steroids but implementing steroid policies to collaborate with the current laws against them. But this all relies on testing and you know what they say: “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” It is nearly impossible to keep the drug tests up to par with new steroids as well as new ways to use them. Those that want to use steroids will keep finding new ways to get around the drug tests just as fast as those who develop the tests find ways to detect the steroids.
