are they adding to the excitement in sports or are they just hurting sports?

there is all kind of proof that steriods are not helpfull in sports. I would know I did a PP on them for health. A boy died here in my home town bcause of them!

I'll find the articles I used and post them.

Eh I don't honestly think they're helping simply because it's not fair, and games are supposed to be played fairly, you know? Furthermore, it makes us look weak, as if we can't play sports without them.

steroids cause health risks, create an unlevel playing field... but sometimes it's just really entertaining to watch a muscle bound meathead with a tree trunk for a neck guzzling triple-fortified protein shakes and eating power bars. isn't it?

if players want to use steroids and it's not against the 'rules' of their sports league (is that how you spell 'league'?...leauge... i'll look it up later) then I say they have every right to alter their bodies and become the mega-muscle maniacs they were born to be!

but people always use an easy way thru anything. i've thought about using steroids a couple times in the past but i haven't cuz i was too young but then i heard it can permanently damage your brain and muscles so ill just take the hard way. and i heard alotta models takes steroids like in those abercrombie and fitch models but iunno if its true or not

really what i'm asking is this:

would you rather see games where baseball players hit balls 900 ft away, basketball players dunk from half court and quarterbacks throw the ball 100 yds, or see the game without the steroids, but at a lower level.

ok Well first of all as an athelete(sp) i am HIGHLY against steriods.....but then i see how you point out some of the present day things that are done in pro sports...well yeah standards have increased people and coachs have found the right exercise that increase the muscles you need to excel....also...i mean many of the pros that we see now have been raised to be that...they have work so hard for years to get to where they are now.....and i hate how those that got there with steriods make those that worked for it look bad...it is majorly messed up. I work out every other day...i run every day....and im eating less then half what i used to to get in shape for football...and i mean there are guys that can lift almost 300 lbs...i would never turn to drugs to improve my proformance.....what is the point ot that crap....besides...it makes balls strink and your head get big......

most people use steroids not because they can't lift alot or run as hard, its cuz they weren't born with good genetics. even if they eat alot and train hard they wont bulk up so they probably go to steroids.

I was one steriods once, however that was for clearing up my nose, not being athletic.

I think they're unfair and make you look bad. When people find out that you're on steriods they'll probably think less of you as an athlete.

James, to answer your second question, I'd rather see it at a lower level. That way, you know they're being true to themselves and also because it's fair that way.

Alright.. steroids..

Fairness attribute: none.. it gives an unfair advantage to those that do not use steroids; its putting up a normal person's abilities against those of a person boosted with steroids.. who had to do less work, less training to build up than the normal nonsteroid person had to do.. not fair at all

That is not true.. perhaps a significant portion of pro players do that, but I wouldnt know.. the original intent of sports were for entertainment, amusement.. a competition of original skill and talent.. and the use of steroids detracts from its original purpose.. steroids.. propagate the aspect outlined in the above quote.. it detracts from the love of the game.. and HELPS turn it simply into a desire for wealth and fame..

So my answer against steroids is a resounding NO

i'm kinda for steroids cuz what if this all-star quarterback is like extremely good and has been spotted by colleges and stuff and he tears his arm muscle and he isn't allowed to play anymore..and thats unfair...so if he takes steroids just to rebuild muscle just so he can throw again and get back in the game...i think that would be alright

People should be good at sports by training vigorously, not using drugs to cheat their way up to the top.
