Why do you think athletes turn to drugs? In sports, we have seen some of the best athletes of our time become star players, and then we turn on the news and find out that this player that we held in high regard, is abusing/selling drugs. The perfect examples would, in my eyes, be Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, and Lawrence Taylor. What makes an athlete, who has millions of dollars at his disposal, and has the world at his feet, turn to drugs? It has no place in our society! Then, you have MLB players who turn to steroids to boost their play. Does anybody out there know about the long-term affects of steroids? It may give you a good feeling now, but one of the major affects of it is even though you may be able to perform "on the field", you really can't perform the way you want to off of it! The kids are being sent the wrong message today that if you don't feel like working hard in sports, you can always take some steroids and that can be the substitute for hard work. Am i right???
