To prepare themselves and guarantee that they will perform well many athletes will result to performance enhancement drugs, or PED’s. Living in a pill-popping, tummy tucking…

In professional sport, the past 15 years have been corrupted by our athlete's use of performance enhancing drugs or also known as doping. The competition has become so severe that it is now more common for athletes to ingest PED's in order to gain an advantage over their competitors without worrying about the effect the drug could possible have on the body of their body or the influence it has on younger generations. Steroids, the most prevalent used performance-enhancing drug, are an artificial…

Chris Bell’s argument about the media falsely informing the general public on the effects of steroids was well supported in his documentary. He used the knowledge of world renown doctors and researchers in order to inform the audience on the truth behind the fatal effects of steroids. He also gave examples of information portrayed through the media that had no scientific research to back it up. And to cap it all off…

competition and others are expected to rise to that level. The famous Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez is a perfect example of this. When talking about why he used performance enhancing drugs, Rodriguez said, “I felt like I had all the weight of the world on top of me, and I needed to perform -- and perform at a high level -- every day.” Although it would have ended his career early, if Rodriguez were tested back when he was using, he would have never been able to put up the outstanding statistics…
