What price are people willing to pay in order to achieve their dreams? What do people do when hard work isn’t enough? There is a very fine line between success and morality. In the sports and the general public, that line is crossed both on and off the field. Often times breaking the law is the easiest way to realize your dreams. Steroids, is the answer to all your dreams. Many people, both athletes and regular people like you and me, use steroids because they are trying to accomplish something that they set out to do. For athletes, it may to hit an extra homerun and for the general public, it may to look bigger so that people can notice you or to impress that one person from the opposite sex.
To some people sports are what they live for; they wouldn’t know what to do without them and so throughout the history of athletics, accomplishments were greatly valued because of the time and effort put into achieving a goal. Whether it be catching a ball or holding world record, accomplishments are forms of greatness. However, what we once considered an achievement isn’t held with the same prestige today. In recent years, it has become far too easy to achieve and surpass greatness with the use of steroids. Steroids are illegal and banned from most if not all major sports organizations, because it is considered cheating and also imposes many health risks on the athletes. It gives the athletes who use them an unfair advantage over the athletes who choose not to use steroids. However, some athletes continue to take them. Rafael Palmeiro, first basemen for the Baltimore Orioles, was recently suspended for taking a powerful steroid called Stanozolol. Palmeiro is just one of many professional athletes who are cheating by taking steroids.................
