Fame and drugs is
not only in the sport industry; it’s also in the music industry and film
industry too. When it comes to drugs in
sports, the most common drug is steroids.
Steroids help build strength and muscles while working out and it can
also make you crazy too. Plenty of football players use this drug to gain
muscle to tackle and push players on the field. That’s why so many football and
also wrestlers looks so big. Track stars, football players, baseball players,
basketball players, tennis player, and wrestler uses steroids to make them
faster and stronger to play. Now in the sports industry, they have a drug test
system to test all professional athletes that’s on a team or is an individual
athlete of drugs. If the test shows that they have some type of drug in them;
they can’t play that season. That’s where fame comes to the picture. Every celebrity
uses their fame to get whatever they want. Most athletes use their fame as
their advantage when it comes to girls, the club life, and etc. I hate how
ignorant some athletes are with their money.
They just buy unnecessary things like: 10 cars, horses, big mansions with 8 rooms- when they are the only person in the house, and jewelry. Fame can change athletes when they make a lot of money. Most of them change their lifestyle and how they do things. That’s why all these players use most of their money on drugs. In how stuff works and I quote “Professional cycling has been repeatedly rocked by revelations and allegations of drug use. Every two years as the Olympic Games begin, we hear about athletes using or at least being tested for performance-enhancing drugs. Major League Baseball is still trying to repair its image from the steroid era. And the list goes on. Some athletes get away with using drugs; others wind up suspended from their sport or even in jail, and still others die prematurely. It's a risky and complex game within a game that plays itself out on a public stage. In this article, we'll discuss why some athletes take drugs, what the major classes of drugs and their side effects are, and how people test for drug use”.

I agree with that because not all
athletes get caught or suspended for taking drugs. They coaches wants to win so
much they don’t worry about the drug use.
You're right in that drugs are certainly prevalent in sports, like they are in the entertainment industry. What I'd like to see here are some statistics to support some of your points here. For example, I know you are right about some athletes being ignorant about money. Can you show one as a case study?
ReplyDeleteAlso, think about the type of sources you're using to make an academic point. I think you can dig even deeper than the site How Stuff Works. Think investigative journalism!
