Final Paper
You are a college football player that has good skills and a great work ethic. ... The drug is anabolic steroids; since the use of anabolic steroids to enhance athletic performance compromises the integrity of any sport, as well as endangers the health of the athlete, all professional/collegiate sports should institute, unannounced testing for steroid use by athletes. ... Recent evidence has confirmed that steroids can cause changes in sports. ... There are many written rules set by the general governing bodies of sports like the Olympic committees and the NCAA; they have banned the use of steroids. ...
Many sports facilities have rules and regulations against drug use, so the teams and organizations perform drug tests to eliminate the drug problem in the organizations (Mishra 51). ... With all the drugs in sports today the games seem almost useless to play because the advantage that the users have over the true competitors is unfair. ... Sports officials have found different strategies for combating drug abuse by athletes (Mishra 53). ...
The drug situation in sports today is horrible and part of that is because only certain athletes abide by the rules. ... Athletes try repeatedly to escape positive detection but once they are tested positive the sports officials will be watching very carefully (Worsnop). ... In 1983, the National Basketball Association set its drug policy and it is now viewed as the most progressive in all sports (Worsnop). ...
At one time Stanford University was able to compete in sports with disregard to collegiate rules about the mandatory drug testing (Worsnop). ... Sooner or later the drug problem will just keep growing and growing and all sports are going to lose attention. Most important, sports are going to lose the support of their fans which affect the finances of the players and organizations. Without enough financial support sports cannot survive and sports could be ruined forever.
Steroid users in professional/collegiate sports risk their health and careers when they use steroids.
