Sports 101

Steroids are used for many things and can be harmful. Steroids may be used to cure disease or to help growth of certain muscles. Steroids are commonly found in plants, animals and fungi. I will further be discussing how steroids help humans and side-affects my lead to disorders.

Steroids are most commonly acknowledged in baseball. Although baseball has one of the strictest bans in all of sports players continue to use them. Baseball players tend to use them to recover from injuries and they also use HGH a Human Growth Hormone to increase body mass; while rookies use them to gain mass to hit and throw the ball farther. Steroids lead to suspension to all MLB players no matter how good they are or how well they play. The rules for suspensions have already hit three people in 2009. These three players are Manny Ramirez (serving a fifty game suspension), Sergio Mitre (50 game suspension) and finally J.C Romero another 50 game suspension. The first positive test would result in a fifty game suspension. The second positive test would result in a one-hundred game suspension. Finally, the third positive test would result in a lifetime suspension from Major League Baseball. Due to the severity of the suspensions many MLB steroid users and past steroid users have refrained from ever using them again. Steroids have affected many of the greats like Roger Clemens, Jose Conseco, Barry Bonds, and Mark McGuire. All have denied use of any steroid use but all went through Transformations that led to MLB physicians and doctors to wandering why Barry Bonds at age 38 grew 4 hat sizes. This is too due with a side-affect of blotting.  These new proposed penalties are much harsher than either of the first two; however, they must be accepted by both the players or owners before any changes can be made. Many Hall of Fame invitees have been rejected from ever entering due to them cheating any system or records.

One of the many things that a lot of people would like to see removed would be Barry Bonds’ name taken away from the top of the home run record book. My final statement is that steroids lead to increase muscle tone and may look better but from increased amounts of testing and experiments doctors and physicians have lead to mental and emotional dysfunctions in the brain and many other organs.
