Steroids in Baseball

Steroids are commonly used by bodybuilders and athletes of all levels. You will find steroids in High School sports, steroids in baseball, steroids in football, and, of course, steroids in the Olympics. All these sports, and many many more, use anabolic steroids in one form or another. DO NOT be fooled into thinking that any NFL players are natural and steroid free. Even retired NFL players admit that at least 70% of their team was using human growth hormone (HGH)!


Of all the sports out there, it seems that baseball has drawn one of the largest controversies when it comes to steroid use by the players. There are many speculations as to why this has happened, but many people think it’s because baseball is considered “America’s Past-time” and such use is often seen as a defecation of something that symbolizes our patriotism. While this seems like a fair analysis of the thought process behind steroid use, there is another side to it. Others feel that it was an inevitable step when all sports are moving ahead with the help (be it illegal) of steroids in order for baseball to be able to keep up with ratings and the “wow” factor.

All of the hype given to steroid use in baseball has led to surveys giving some startling statistics. Surveys of the players show that over three-quarters of them believe that the newest trend in record-breaking is due to the use of steroids to some extant. Furthermore, more than a quarter believes that this trend is strongly related to steroid use (USA Today).
