Any person who has ever played sports should have been offended when some members of Congress implied that students use steroids, because the athletes they idolize may use them. The whole steroid hearing with Major League baseball, lacked both substance and merit. The center of the steroid issue should be about those who cheat. As much education about anabolic steroids that the average athlete gets in their teens and into college, everyone should be afraid of them. However some use their desire to win as a crutch for breaking the rules.

People and Congress need to stop acting if children are stupid. Kids may try to play basketball like Mike, but if an athlete goes to jail, you do not see every high school athlete trying to follow suit. Steroids use is no different from this example. Some individuals are always trying to cut corners. If you believe that banning people from sports will limit steroid use, then you are mistaken. Some of those who do not get caught have already moved unto another designer drug. Professional sports is making more money in one year, than the average person makes in a lifetime. That is why steroid use is tempting whether you are in high school, college, or the pros. It is not about your role models, but about greed.
