According to the Yomiuri news paper in Japan, Mark David McGwire, a former professional baseball player in the U.S. has admitted to using an anabolic steroid at that time when he was playing baseball. He made 583 home-runs total and had a new record of home-runs for one season in 1998 then he retired in 2001. People have doubted him use it for a long time but in 2005, he avoided to mention about the truth at a public hearing. All sport have to be fair for sure that’s why audiences get excited and impression. In the article, he argued “I shouldn’t have used it.” People cannot forgive him, even though he said that, however, some people want him enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. If athletes can get forgiveness just by apologizing later, many people may cheat on sports.
Using an anabolic steroid in Bodybuilding sport has been issued for some reasons. First, it has negative effect to the body such as increasing a risk of heart disease, cancer, or hormone imbalance so actually, the steroid would make their life in sport shorter. Secondly, Children may be influenced by the athletes who are using it because they yearn professional athletes. Third, it is totally not fair. According to the news paper, he stressed that even thought he used it, the condition sometimes was not good. But I think this way that even if he felt bad condition sometimes, he was still using the steroid so he was helped his performance by the steroid and he also believed so. If he really reflect on his conduct, he should work on a project for abolition of a steroid in all sports. Checking the steroid user needs a lot of money so I hope that he donates some of his money that he earned with a steroid to the organization of checking steroid user.
Here are pictures of a natural bodybuilder and a steroid user.
Do you think that it is fair?
