Genetics,+steroids'creating+sports+supermen'

[|ABC News Online] April 28, 2005

Over 500,000 teens in the United States have admitted the use of steroids. Professional athletes are also getting questioned. In 1985 hardly any NFL players weighed over three hundred pounds. However in 2003 many players were above three hundred pounds. Because of that data Congress is questioning NFL players and other athletes in the sports industry. The use of steroids does not only affect your body in short term in time steroids will alter your genes. As genetic engineering becomes more advanced problems relating to use of steroids are likely to increase

I believe that the use of steroids should not be allowed to sports players or anyone else. They are not a pure indicator of an individual’s performance and any drugs are not healthy for your body. Although there is a contrast between the athletes of the past and the athletes of today does not necessarily indicate that every athlete is using steroids.
