Cheating at sports
people cheat at sports by doing a lot of things. some people find loop holes in the rules, take performance enhancing drugs such as steroids, also in sports involving animals people dope the animals or make the animals work even if the animals are injured. in sports like baseball people take steroids so that they can hit the ball harder. in equestrian sports like horse racing, cross country, jumping and, dressage events people dope the horses so that the horses are easier to control. also in equestrian sports people use spiked nose band or bits that hurt the horses for the same reason people dope horses. in dog racing people drug the dos so that the dogs can run faster. also in foot ball players take steroids so they can throw the ball farther, run faster, and block better. in all sports people cheat some way or another. i don't agree with it i think that they have no need to cheat. it gives people no sense of achievement or anything all cheating does is give you false bragging rights, its stupid, its pointless and the players already make enough money they don't need to play better than they already are.
an example of how steroids can effect an athletes career is Marion Jones because in the 2000 summer Olympics she won 3 gold medals and 2 bronze medals and she admitted to taking steroids before and after competing in the Sydney games and she had to return all 5 medals she won. after a court session she said "I want you to know that I have been dishonest and you have the right to be angry with me. I have let (my family) down, I have let my country down and I have let myself down,"
this is exactly what I'm talking about how when you cheat you don't achieve anything and you let everyone down. according to drug free.org some side effects of taking steroids are increases in lean muscle mass, strength, and ability to train longer and harder. The major effects of steroid use include liver tumors, jaundice, fluid retention, and high blood pressure. Additional side effects include the following: for men shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, baldness, development of breasts; for women growth of facial hair, changes in or cessation of the menstrual cycle, deepened voice; for adolescents growth halted prematurely through premature skeletal maturation and accelerated puberty changes. Researchers report that users may suffer from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility
