Men and women can both be excellent at playing sports, but
when it comes to who does it better and why, any biased person would jump in to
the men defense. Why do people in general consider men to be better athletes?
Is it because they tend to be stronger (well, not in general, but that’s what
society makes people think) or is it simply because they are men? Well, it is
not! Instead for many years society has made us believe that it is because most
men know the sport, love the sport and feel pressured to do good in the sport.
Pressure can cause athletes to do a lot of things, and when you’re recognized
for your good plays, you never want to lose that recognition, so what happens….
drugs happen. Athletes fall into the use of drugs and the most popular one… STEROIDS!
A Steroid is a drug used to enhance the performance in your
body while at the same time treating a variety of medical conditions. This drug
has been banned from the use of any athletes and within sports like the NBA and
NFL (to name a few) because it tends to help the person taking it pump up and
perform better within their sport. But why do men athletes have a higher
percentage of taking steroids in comparison to female athletes? Some of the
biggest notorious steroid users in sports history are mostly men, with one
women somewhere down the line.
Alex Rodriguez was considered one of the best baseball
players in baseballs history, he was so good, he even got to sign one of the
largest contracts in the history sports with the New York Yankees, until in
2009, when he admitted the use of steroids from ’01-’03 and got caught in ’03
after he being drug tested.
Another heavy hitter in the steroid history is Mark McGuire,
became well known for his home run streak that took him to the top of the list
of best MLB players, but when the fans and the people surrounded him and
started watching his plays, they then began to question the use of steroids,
which he denied, until early 2011 when he came clean to everyone and admitted
to using steroids for over a decade.
As mentioned before and to everyone’s surprise, women
athletes do to use the drug to enhance their performance in their sport, in
October 2007, Marion Jones a well known female track and field athlete,
competitor in the Sydney Olympics in 2000, three gold and two bronze medalist
winner, admitted to the use of steroids and was stripped down from all her
medals. Jones had for many years denied the use of the drug, until she admitted
lying to federal prosecutors who were already investigating her case.
Regardless of the reasons and of who uses the drug, this
should not be allowed for anyone to use. This drug and any use of other drugs
should definitely be banned from sports in general, if the athlete is good,
he/she should be good without the use of any substance.
Anabolic steroids are commonly known for their impressive enhancement of muscle growth and athletic performance.
