Steroids have become an ongoing predicament in all of sports. Players seem to persist in the use of these banned substances, even though they are illegal, and they seem to be tarnishing the reputation of what sports are perceived to stand for. Even the great American pastime, Baseball, has had its reputation tarnished as well because of the common steroid use that persists in the sport. The governemnt needs to crack down on these issues so they can clean up the sport and restore its reputation by creating greater sanctions along with formulating greater regulations to reassure these players stop taking these banned substances.
