Steriods

Steroid is a major issue that is very visible in various sports today. When you're little, you always talk about wanting to be like your favorite athlete. This is because everyone loves them and they seem to have the perfect life, the athleticism, money, girls, and (hopefully) the titles. But it all goes down when they're on the television for the wrong reasons. It's not because they were traded, won, lost, or even retired, its because they used a performance enhancer. As a little kid, i never understood the purpose of performance enhancers. I thought it would be a good thing since these guys are abnormally huge compared to other people that i see everyday. As I grow up, i came to understand that they are abnormally huge for a reason, and its from steroids. It's a bit rare for basketball, but I was an avid professional wrestling fan, also known as World Wrestling Entertainment. This sport is about men that fight each other to gain a repeated title belt. Like football and baseball, this sport is very competitive and it was necessary to be cut and fit. After a while, it was obvious that many of the superstars were using steroids as the company went on to the news and press continuously in the 90s. After learning about the issue of this problem, I came to the conclusion that this wasn't the right way to succeed in the business. The use of steroids shows that the athletes take their sport as a mere business where one must do anything and everything possible to reach the top. Why though? Why would one risk their own body and possible career with such a substance? Have they every heard of hard work pays off, and cheaters never prosper? I guess that doesn't apply in sports.
