Roger Clemens

i.e. Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, and even Mark McGwire. All three of these players considered one of the most popular athletes that were caught using PED’s while playing professional baseball player. But the real question is, what kind of PED’s are there? Each…

The word old is a relative term. We commonly use old to refer to the leftover pizza from last week in the fridge, our eight-year-old car outside, and our ninety- four-year-old great grandmother who lives in a nursing home. From those examples, we defined old to be ranging anywhere from a few days to nearly one hundred years. Our definition of old varies from generation to generation, ethnicity to ethnicity, city to city, and even person to person. When it comes to defining old age and what…

Is Doping in Sports OK? 73 home runs in a single MLB season. That is almost an unthinkable thing to accomplish at the highest level of baseball. When Barry Bonds completed this feat in 2001, many people speculated on whether or not he was helped in any way… they meant steroids. Doping, which is the use of steroids, is now a major issue within pro sports and has helped many athletes accomplish feats they might not have otherwise done. Even though doping does not always make that much of a…

Students and students athletes should be randomly drug tested. About 570,000people die in the U.S. due to drug use. That makes it to more than 480,000 deaths related to tobacco, about 31,000 due to alcohol, nearly 22,000 due to overdose from illegal drugs, and close to 23,000 due to overdose from prescription pain relievers(teens, NIDA for). Students should be randomly drug tested because drugs give students advantages in sports, a lot of students get bored of their life, teens are hiding it…

Hironao Jacob Suzuki, my father, was born in Tsuruoka city in Yamagata prefecture, Japan. He chose to move to America because it was the most powerful/advanced nation, and it was the “leader” of all the nations. He came to America with other members in his church in Japan.

In preparation before coming to…

McCready had stated an interview early in her career that she was…

The problem with cheating is that children learn to cheat at a young age. It is argued that as a part of moral instinct, human beings naturally seek to expose and punish cheaters. Before cheaters can be punished; however, one must identify the behaviors that constitute cheating. On June 3, 2003, Chicago Cubs’ star Sammy Sosa shattered his bat in a game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Noticing something unordinary in the shattering, the umpires gathered together to examine the bat. The…

compared to Rose’s massive ban. Bond’s career statistics, which were heavily influenced by steroids, overshadow those who achieved just as great things without the illegal help, such as Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron. The same holds true for such as Roger Clemens and Mark McGwire, who both admitted to using PED’s during their careers; they received 202 and 63 votes for the Hall of Fame, respectively. Also, another major baseball scandal comes to mind when considering Rose’s ban. The Black Sox scandal,…

Some players have even passed away from it. Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn passed away in 2014 from salivary gland cancer. Major League…
