Abstract
Abstract- A steroid is also classified as a performance-enhancing drug, which basically defines itself in the word. It enhances your performance when playing sports, making you bigger, faster, and stronger. Athletes around the world have been using performance-enhancing drugs for decades to gain that edge against their competitors. The athletes have even taken it to the point of using them during their season of competition, and have been caught doing so. So, the purpose of this informational paper is to understand what a steroid is on the chemistry aspect of it and why do the athletes feel it is necessary to take these drugs to boost performance. The main focus was on baseball players because they out of all sports have been caught using more performance-enhancing drugs than any other sport. I asked 15 baseball players on their views on steroids in the sport and if it was bad for the sport and the reputation of it. 12 of them said the steroids are what helps the baseball players get through a season and is good for the sport and reputation and 3 of them disagreed. The steroids in baseball are completely your decision to decide whether it is unjust of the athletes, or it helps them. Most of the players asked said it helped them get through the vigorous 162 game season.
