Baseball and steroids, the issue that keeps going and going and going. And for what reason? To prove what to the American people? That our children's biggest idols and influences are now horrible people? That seems to be the message Congress is sending to everyone and most are listening, or are they?
While some show concerns about this, others are tired of hearing about it all together. Some people think Congress is going a great job at targeting this problem, but some feel this is an issue that shouldn't even be in the hands of Congress.
Remember the good ole' days when there wasn't a worry in the world about baseball players using drugs? You know, The guys who became legends just from being good and working so hard for what they had accomplished. The only helped they needed was just to keep practicing and staying in shape by running a lifting weights.
Babe Ruth's home runs weren't caused by pumping himself full of steroids. They were caused because he was good at what he did. He was a natural. Baseball was something he was extremely good at. He didn't need special drugs to make him good, he earned all that on his own. It's called having a desire to play. Doing what you love in your heart. Fulfilling your lifelong dreams.
Unfortunately, for many of baseball players today, their dreams are being shattered by all the controversy going on over steroids and baseball.
Sure, pumping yourself full of this miracle drug will make you hit the ball that much further, tackle somebody that much harder and dunk the ball that much easier, but is all that worth it?
Not only are steroids illegal, unless prescribed by a doctor for a known medical condition, but the drug can do some serious damage to your body.
There are also a lot new drugs that are available over the counter at your neighborhood drug store that claim to give you the same benefits as steroids. Powders that promise to make you stronger and make it easier to perform, pills that promise to make you the skinniest yet best athlete in the world, even drinks that promise to make metabolism skyrocket allowing you to perform at your very best at all time. What is going on?
People may think all these are miracles, but they fail to realize the long term affects of using these.
Just like steroids, they can do moderate to severe damage on your body. Kidney failure, heart problems, muscle deceases
If you need help to make you better, are you really that good in the first place?
