Baseball is America’s pastime, but there is one problem, and that is the use of steroids. Steroids a synthetic hormone that promotes the retention of protein and the growth of tissue and the use can help and athlete build bigger muscles more faster. the problem i have with steroids is the unfairness that baseball gets by using steroids. To me i think it is a fake sports because now a days you don’t know who is using or now so you really don’t know who is naturally talented. I was reading the article and it discussed how if a player gets caught using steroids the first offense is treatment, which is basically a slap on the risk telling them not to do it again, and for five violations is a one year suspension. I do not think that it is fair, I think the rule should be first offense should be the one year suspension and the second offense should be getting kicked out of the league. The only reason i say this is because when they get older they are destroying their bodies for drugs, all they need to do is work on the talent that got them there, not put harsh chemicals in their body that can scar them for life.
These grown men should not be babied because they should know right from wrong and that steroids are bad, but they insist on using them. Should the League just legalize steroids so that way majority of the athletes don’t get in trouble and just call baseball America’s past time and just leave it in the past because baseball is not the same as it used to be, because I don’t think that this many people were using steroids back in the day. even though it is harming their bodies by making 
them infertile and gives you harmful psychological changes and even cancer, these athletes still use them just to get one up on their opponent.
Majority of the athletes playing baseball are on steroids, so we should just legalize it because even though they are getting caught they are not stopping. In order for the League to stop steroid use they would have to drug test the players everyday, but that is a waste of time and money because these men are grown they should know right from wrong. What should the commissioner do so the League can once again be America’s Pastime
Unruly Bodies 
Interesting post! I wonder what the difference is between steroids and other performance enhancing drugs that we seem to have decided are ok–I’m thinking about caffeine, prescription drugs like Adderall, and other normalized substances. What makes steroids cheating but not certain types of clothing or foods or professional exercise regimens?
i guess it be the fact that once the steroids is in the body it automatically changes the body, and enhances sport performance. there are other problems in sports such as food and clothing , but it doesnt really affect the body as fast and as well as steroid use does. Another problem with steroid use is that it is very visible, if you see someone using steroids their body is usually bigger, their performance on the court is extraordinary and majority of them loose their hair
Steroids in this circumstance need to be examined in the context they are being used – in sports, it is tied up in a hegemonic masculinity that favors performance, drive, and visual stimuli exclaiming ability. Muscles and the ability to be a great baseball player (or any sports player, I suppose) is configured in a discourse that drives masculine organizations as a competitive and harmful situation. Steroids are not great – we all know that – but for the sake of this situation to dissuade people from using them, we must address the cause or try to promote other forms of “masculine” traits that would negatively portray steroids as going against the greater good.
