As we all probably know, or should know, steroids are a big no-no. They can lead to serious anger management issues and, in many cases, death.
If not prescribed and monitered by a doctor, steroid abuse can become a serious issue.
And it has become an even bigger issue in major league sports, where the Mitchell Report was just released.

For the most recent news story I could find, click here...

I hate the use of steroids. Baseball, which is not my favorite sport and never has been is still a great game, but now its been disgraced. Baseball right now is pathetic for allowing this to happen and come this far. Everyone of those players(they should keep searching because I think there are more than that) should have all of their records and statistics wiped clean. The only record of them ever playing the game should be the given teams and rosters they were on each year with an asterisk next to their name explaining that they were steroid users and had their careers erased from "the books".

WOW that's a lot more ppl than i thought took them.

Okay, I am home sick today and i turned on the TV and it was on CNN, they were doing this huguncus thing about Roger Clemins(or however u spell his name) and the guy that gave them to him. It had been on 4 hours and i think it's still on. They've already hurt themselves enough by doing the drugs in the first place, now we have to hear about it for years after the fact. It's starting 2 get annoying.

I think steroids r for WEAK people cos people use them so that they can CHEAT and cos they r DESPERATE to win. A bit TOO Deserate lol. So that shows that they r weak cos they can't do it ON THEIR OWN! They have to take drugs to ENHANCE their gameplay which is crap cos they can beat other players or become bigger than them just because they got a little EXTRA help by takin steroids. They're a disgrace. Can't blame all of them though cos sometimes people get so desperate that their MINDS change so people who do it may have went a little CRAZY! Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil
