A profession like all profession's have there ups and down's weither there right or wrong.It has been proven that steroid uses have done nothing more then change your appearance and cause long time aggression.Long after using it you will find that some lose to much weight and make you look worst then you did before,and not healthy.

Why i wouldn't use steroids in a professional sport is because of the fact that all sports are a type of entertainment.People look up to these people for guidance to our new future of the game.Not only that it use to be just a friendly game with the people you loved and a great way to stay healthy and stay in shape.Now greed is a part of the sport who only play the sport for the money.I understand taking something for pain or medication for sores,cuts,and bruises.Why would they use steroid's?

Reason's why i think they use steroids.Because it makes you strong enough to tackle,hit a home run easier,makes your body look great for a day or two on tv.But there are so much side effects that user's don't understand.

A professional sport means more then a group of people fighting out there own battles.
To show up at every game and win one for the gypper.
There athletes first before they put on that uniform.
While others are busting there tail there training to be the best.By cheating
that gives a bad example for the future of the sport.Normal people like me have struggles
all the time only making what the minimum you can get.I don't have to use steroids to look bigger.Every athlete that shows up and signs autographs to every child that shows up at there
game look up to those athletes.If we just slap them on the wrist and say don't do it next time.
Who are we really fooling a child?

As a parent to these athletes I would be proud to see them at every game knowing they were
taking great care of there body and there minds more then cheating so that they can help the team out.It wouldn't be a team effort at all to let the whole team down by using.The public
See's these athletes through commercials ,at the games or maybe they live in your own town.I would hate to see them lose all that they worked for over using steroids.

Times of fun is over high-school,college.There professional.They work for a living.
It's time to be professional.No means no.If there is any problem then hit the road.How is it
gonna be when they look at them on television or in the public eyes telling them they cheated
so they can make some extra runs so you can make a million or more dollars.Money isn't everything.

Recruiter's need players not drudges.The sport makes billions every year from fans that pay
to see them play.Not to see them wasted on a bet or too see how many runs or points they can make,How strong they are while on steroids,or any other possible reason it might be.

Its time to shape up the professional gaming business so that the one's that are willing
to actually work for what they make a living can do there job.There is many opportunities
out there for athletes that were using steroids to get help,but i don't think it should effect
the whole team and team owner's.After they have had help and decide to be a athlete test
them to see if they test negative and tell them next time that is all.But steroids should
never be allowed in professional sports.
