Pete Rose’s wife is disappointed

The former MLB player Pete Rose is a clever man. He realizes own faults and don’t demonizes others for his problems. He is an example for other sportspersons who have been dishonored for intake of doping products or other mistakes.
As for Pete Rose, he was never associated with steroids. This sportsman had essential success while playing baseball professionally. He obtained 3 World Series rings, a MVP award, 3 batting titles, 2 Gold Gloves, etc. Although Pete Rose didn’t apply anabolic steroids and other banned substances, he made another mistake. This sportsman gambled on baseball games. As a result, he was banned from the Hall of Fame permanently.
Pete Rose hopes that the decision will be modified and he will be elected for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Being in Cooperstown, Pete Rose’s wife was full of anger. She and her husband, a former successful baseball player, had to watch Hall of Fame festivities like ordinary individuals. While Pete Rose’s wife was too disappointed, the former professional baseball player seemed not to have the same feelings.
Pete Rose claims that he has patience. He will continue to wait until he receives the second chance. The sportsperson promises that he will never gamble on games again. He claims that the second chance will be enough for him to show that he is a trustworthy athlete. He will not need to get the 3rd chance.
Pete Rose puts efforts to urge his wife that he is not in the Hall of Fame because of own fault. He affirms that they shouldn’t demonize others. He is guilty. That’s why he is punished.
Pete Rose realizes that he is like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens and other baseball players connected with the steroid era. Pete Rose believes that Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds are splendid baseball players that should enter the Hall of Fame. He underlines that Roger Clemens hasn’t entered the Baseball Hall of Fame just because of suspicions. This sportsperson hasn’t failed any drug test. You haven’t seen Roger Clemens having steroids and needles in his hand. That’s why you don’t have any right to claim that he has used these products. So, it is not correct to blame and punish the celebrated baseball player while lacking proof.

Rich steroid-using sportsmen don’t go to jail

Does money leads to happiness? Undoubtedly, it doesn’t. But money possesses essential power. Although it can’t make you happy, it is able to help to avoid jail in certain situations. Let analyze the cases connected with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. One has probably thought that these sportsmen will lose. But you should remember that rich guys never lose. Since they have money, they have many chances to win.
Barry Bonds was charged with lying to a grand jury. He claimed under the oath that he had never applied any forbidden drugs. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating became obvious and he would be sentenced to prison. But don’t forget: this baseball player has much money. However he was convicted for obstruction of justice, he received only house arrest and community service. Moreover, he appealed even this light sentencing.
Roger Clemens, another sportsman, was accused of lying under oath too. He affirmed that he had never taken any banned substances. Ultimately, the baseball player was cleared of all charges. Roger Clemens didn’t lose as well.
These cases manifest power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have engaged the wisest defense attorneys. Undoubtedly, you need much money in order to employ the wisest defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could hire Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. So, it is not surprisingly that federal prosecutors have lost under these circumstances.
Federal prosecutors lost also in other cases. For example, let mention the case against the celebrated American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government made the decision to drop the case because it would lose.
However the government spent much money for these cases, it couldn’t win. Feds had just insignificant results in the cases linked with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
Thus, if you are a professional sportsperson, you may take steroids and/or other related drugs, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid jail. Otherwise, you will be dishonored and punished harshly.

Kimberley Bell enumerated changes which occurred in Barry Bonds’ body

Kimberley Bell, Barry Bonds’ ex mistress appeared in the trial to testify against the baseball player. This woman said that there were essential changes in physique of Barry Bonds. She noted that the athlete’s head increased. Kimberley Bell also mentioned that he had shrunken testicles. Furthermore, he experienced hair loss and acne formation. According to this woman, Barry Bonds also had abnormal behavior. He was too aggressive and impatient. Such changes are commonly connected with administration of steroids.
Barry Bonds threatened to his former girlfriend. He asked her disappear. Otherwise, he would kill her.
Thus, Kimberley Bell’s words served as a basis to continue accusing Barry Bonds of perjury and obstructing justice. Certain years ago the baseball player affirmed under oath that he had never administered steroids. But as it turned out, he might have lied under oath.
Presenting information about Barry Bonds, Kimberley Bell started to cry two times during the course. Once the woman was interrupted by a defense attorney for Barry Bonds.
Kimberley Bell was asked whether steroid use was discussed by her and Barry Bonds. Bell said that once Barry Bonds disclosed that he was using anabolic steroids. The baseball player suffered from an elbow injury around 1999-2000. The injury was too severe, according to Kimberley Bell. So, she asked Barry Bonds about the severe injury. The baseball player claimed that anabolic steroids promoted enhancing muscles evidentially and rapidly. As a result, the joint couldn’t handle so fast and essential changes in the size of muscles.
Chris Arguedas, a defense attorney for Barry Bonds, accused Kimberley Bell of attempts to become prominent and earn money because of her relations with the successful athlete. She tried to induce selling a book about her relationships with Barry Bonds.

Steroid users should enter Baseball Hall of Fame

Such prominent baseball players, as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza, have not been introduced into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Is it fair? These sportsmen have reached brilliant results while playing professional baseball. But it is affirmed that there is no any place for consumers of steroids in the Hall of Fame.
So, several individuals consider that if dopers are introduced into the Hall of Fame, it will have negative influence for future generations. Young people should comprehend that successful baseball players are those that haven’t taken any forbidden preparation. Actually, it is nonsense. Barry Bonds, Mike Piazza and Roger Clemens are always considered to be the best baseball players. If even they don’t enter the Hall of Fame, they will be always praised. These sportsmen have reached excellent results. Nobody can doubt about their achievements.
Let analyze logically. For example, you see the most beautiful girl in the town. But she can’t win Miss of America. Does she lose its beauty? Do you discontinue admiring of her beauty just because she hasn’t acquired the title of Miss of America? Answers are evident. The same situation is with Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Mike Piazza. They are excellent players, regardless whether they will be elected fot the Hall of Fame or not.
Barry Bonds obtained some MVPs before he was associated with steroids. Roger Clemens became famous for his baseball skills before he was accused of doping. When it comes to Mike Piazza, nobody can contest that he is one of the best catchers.
It is claimed that the Baseball Hall of Fame is the place for the best baseball players that have ever played the game. Let suppose that Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza are not included in this category. Then we must create another category within the Baseball Hall of Fame. These players must be the Hall of Fame. Otherwise, it loses its meaningfulness. Since the Hall of Fame is linked to greatness, it can’t exist without such amazing players, as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. Barry Bonds made games exciting. He showed splendid baseball skills long before he was accused of doping. The same things may be pronounced about Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. The Hall of Fame loses its importance without these splendid players. That’s why it is important to take into account these aspects and alter the attitude towards these players and the Hall of Fame. Otherwise, the integrity of baseball will be destructed.

Will Lance Armstrong return to professional cycling?

An individual who didn’t want to be indentified has announced that Lance Armstrong intends to admit to applying forbidden preparations during an interview with the American media proprietor Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the prominent cyclist? Points of view differ. Some persons suppose that if the disgraced American cyclist admits to doping, he will restore his reputation. Others claim that the admission will not be able to change anything. Several other persons claim that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will probably go to jail.
As you know, Lance Armstrong denied applying steroids and other prohibited medicines. He seemed to succeed till the USADA released a dossier on him. The USADA’s report provided doping evidence. As a result, the cyclist forfeited his 7 Tour de France titles. Furthermore, his sponsors left him. In addition to these negative results, Lance Armstrong had to distance himself from the foundation Livestrong in order to prevent negative influence of his problems on it.
Will Lance Armstrong admit to administering banned medications? Which will be consequences?
Certain experts suppose that prosecution will take place, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has claimed under the oath that he never took any forbidden medicines. Thus, if he admits to doping, it means that he admits to lying under the oath. As a result, he may be sentenced to prison. That’s why several experts affirm that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are persons who believe that the admission will change nothing. Millions of individuals with cancer that have survived with the help of Livestrong praise Lance Armstrong. The former cyclist is a hero for them. These persons like the former cyclist, regardless of whether he has doped or not. If even Lance Armstrong admits to using prohibited medications throughout his cycling career, these individuals will continue to support him.
But there is also another point of view. If Lance Armstrong provides important information about usage of forbidden medicines in the US Postal Service Cycling Team, his suspension from competitions may be reduced. Thus, the disgraced cyclist will probably return to competitions.
It is unclear whether Lance Armstrong will really admit and which results will follow.

Prominent American cyclist was nominated as Texan of the Year

The Dallas Morning News is a daily newspaper that is very popular in the USA. Several individuals whose actions have great influence on the society are chosen every year for the “Texan of the Year” award. It is important to mention that not only positive deeds are considered. Even actions that have been influenced on the society negatively may induce obtaining the “Texan of the Year” award. So, Lance Armstrong’s doping scandal made the cyclist the finalist for the “Texan of the Year” award.
As you know, Lance Armstrong’s doping case is not pleasant. However this case disgraced the famous American cyclist, it made him more prominent. The scandal had significant impact on the society. Numerous persons discussed the situation related to his usage of anabolic steroids, EPO and other related medications. Numerous individuals focused on the following questions: “Have Lance Armstrong actually used doping products?”, Why has he cheated?”, Which preparations have been applied by him?”, How could he avoid detection?”, etc.
The Dallas Morning News didn’t fail to present positive deed of Lance Armstrong as well. The newspaper noted about efforts of the cyclist for the foundation that helps persons experience cancer to survive. The athlete also promoted developing centers for researches linked with treatment of cancer. The Dallas Morning News noticed also about accomplishments of the sportsman that were done during his cycling career. Since young age Lance Armstrong succeeded in cycling. He got many awards. Lance Armstrong won Tour de France 7 consecutive times.
Even testicular cancer couldn’t have negative influence on the celebrated cyclist. Although the cancer spread over the body, Lance Armstrong got rid of this dreadful trouble. Moreover, he came back to professional cycling after his treatment and continued succeeding. While all positive deeds of Lance Armstrong didn’t make him a finalist for the “Texan of the Year” award, his doping scandal did it. Undoubtedly, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) contributed to his award. A dossier on Lance Armstrong’s doping case was written by the USADA. Moreover, the cyclist’s sponsors left him after it was proven that he had doped. So, many persons were convinced that the cyclist had taken banned medicines.
Texans praised Lance Armstrong, when he had success in cycling. But when this sportsman crashed, they began to demonize him. It is not surprisingly because this is the essence of Texans. While they prefer to make certain individuals heroes, they prefer to blame them as well.

Dana White doesn’t intend to clean MMA from doping

The UFC president Dana White supposes that a lot of MMA fighters use marijuana. He is troubled by this issue. While anti-doping agencies try to clean sports from intake of anabolic steroids and other related preparations, the UFC president notes that it is necessary to test fighters for recreational drugs randomly. The UFC president affirms: “Forget about steroids!” He states that it is the time to be troubled by usage of marijuana and other related drugs by MMA fighters.
As you know, those who test positive for anabolic steroids and/or other related preparations are banned from competitions. Which sanctions are for those who are caught administering recreational drugs? You should know that the punishment is the same.
Don’t you wonder how many fighters are caught using marijuana and/or other related substances, if random testing for recreational drugs will be conducted in the UFC?
475 fighters have signed contracts with the UFC. It is suggested that if random testing is established, circa 80% of these athletes will be caught using these drugs.
The United State Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) would be happy to sign a contract with the UFC in order to promote cleaning it from doping. They consider that the UFC should have the same anti-doping policy like other sports organizations have. But the UFC president doesn’t want to sign a contract with the USDADA and the VADA. He underlines that the State Athletic Commission subjects fighters for drug testing. It is enough in order to clean the UFC from application of prohibited preparations, according to Dana White.
It becomes obvious that Dana White doesn’t desire to clean MMA from doping. Previously he has pronounced several statements for support of testosterone replacement therapy among fighters. He has said that any fighter should apply steroids under instructions of his doctor, if he has low testosterone levels. Athletes must obtain therapeutic use exemptions in order to compete professionally while applying several steroids. But it is possible to suppose that therapeutic use exemptions often serve as an excuse for doping. Numerous famous fighters have gotten therapeutic use exemptions and use steroids while fighting. So, doping continues to prosper in MMA.
Why doesn’t Dana White put efforts to eliminate doping and smoking pot from MMA? Think logically! The war on doping and smoking will influence on business negatively.

Hypocritical persons call steroid users “cheaters”

Reporters frequently write articles about those that have unnaturally enhanced muscles and endurance. Reading their statements, you can notice that those that use anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines are harshly blamed. Such individuals are criticized in the society. They are called “cheaters”. It is said that those that take anabolic steroids for performance-enhancing effects may become addicted to these preparations. Many articles also contain information about probable side reactions of steroids. Although some side reactions occur in consumers of steroids, others are not proven scientifically. For example, it is widely reported about violence and murders committed by consumers of steroids. It is claimed that steroids may cause uncontrolled behavior which results in crimes. However, so called “roid rage” linked with these medicines is considered to be a controversial issue.
A lot of persons say that intake of anabolic steroids for obtaining of muscle mass and strength, hardening of muscles and fat loss is a moral issue. Let analyze! Is this affirmation free from hypocrisy? Why are only anabolic steroids blamed? Do just these drugs make the society unnatural? Let analyze other aspects of the society! What do you think about sex stimulants? It is said that you should not suffer from sexual disorders, when there are suitable medications to get rid of such problems. Furthermore, what do you think about products for anti-aging purposes? Why should you have evident wrinkles, if there are ways to hide your age? Models and actors take several medicines but they are not named “cheaters”. Students use some drugs for enhancement of their cognitive abilities. They are not blamed too. Several specialists that have conducted several studies affirm that those that take steroids for increase of physical abilities are more harshly blamed than those that take several products to enhance cognitive capacities. Is it fair?
As you see, our society is full of hypocrisy, ignorance and unfair accusations. May you blame steroid users in this society? May you state that application of steroids for enhancement of physical performance is a moral issue? Be real! If you begin to demonize consumers of steroids, don’t forget about other aspects of life!

Testosterone replacement therapy is legal for professional athletes

Intake of anabolic steroids for testosterone replacement therapy by sportspersons is a controversial issue. There are numerous debates linked with it. It is known by everyone that steroids and certain other related products are forbidden in numerous sports organizations. But if a person should administer these medicines under instructions of his/her doctor for clinical needs, he/she should receive a therapeutic use exemption. However it is allowed to apply even anabolic steroids for therapeutic purposes, such sportspersons are often demonized and called “cheaters”. Actually, it is not fair.
What does Dana White, the UFC president, affirm about intake of steroids for testosterone replacement therapy? Does he blame fighters that administer steroids in order to enhance their decreased levels of testosterone? Dana White affirms that any man with hypogonadism should administer steroids, if these preparations are recommended by his physician. Although it is fair, let notice why certain sportspersons suffer from low levels of testosterone. It is proven scientifically that steroid abuse may cause suppression of natural testosterone secretion. Thus, some fighters and other sportspersons that have administered previously steroids for athletic purposes may have hypogonadism. Hence, their physicians prescribe them administering certain steroids in order to enhance their testosterone levels.
According to Dana White, testosterone replacement therapy is legal for all men, including professional sportsmen. Thus, if any sportsman has hypogonadism, he should be allowed to take steroids recommended by his physician. He should reach normal testosterone levels that characterize any healthy man of his age.
But the UFC president underlines that any fighter or another sportsman that uses anabolic steroids and/or other forbidden medications for athletic needs must be suspended from competitions. It is necessary to make difference between those that apply steroids for clinical needs and those that desire to get muscle mass and strength with the help these preparations. Nobody is allowed to use anabolic steroids for performance-enhancing effects. It is banned in sports. Those that violate anti-doping rules should be sanctioned. Sports must be free from doping.
It seems to be surprising that statements of the UFC president differ obviously from affirmations presented by anti-doping officers. As you know, words of certain anti-doping officials for steroid users are much harsher than those said by the UFC president.
