As a world today sports are a big part of our everyday life and if someone told you you're opponent was cheating or you're biggest role model was you wouldn't be happy would you? In my mind that's cheating and not ok. Rosenberg, Michael states “ there are only so many roster spots in each major sport, and the athletes who chose to stay clean are at an inherent disadvantage.”(Rosenberg) This quote states athletes who don't take the drugs are at an automatic disadvantage due to the fact that the athletes who do are bigger,better and faster and will put up better stats. Say you have to players battling for a roster spot and one is taking the drugs and has great stats and the other one isn't taking drugs but has moderate stats who do you think they would chose? The one who has the great stats. “Thus one accepts that one has to jump over the bar rather than, walk under it .” (Mumford). This means that when one realizes they have to work harder they will, while some will just cheat there way like using steroids. If you have to cheat your way through something just to make it then you probably aren't doing the right then and maybe you should realize you have to work harder.
