Doping in sports

Doping has been a challenging issue in the sporting world for years now. Though it is continually growing as an issue in sports annually. Doping is nothing to play with in sports as the integrity of the game is being lost with each individual issue. There is no simple solution to solving this epidemic of doping in sports as athletes have found a way to stay one step ahead of the testing agencies. Many athletes have been caught doping such as Barry Bonds, Mark Maguire, and Jose Conseco; these are just a few notable athletes who have been caught doping. These three baseball players have in a sense single handedly ruined the view of modern day baseball. Mark Maguire set the MLB record for homeruns with 73, however the following year baseball instilled random mid season testing and no one hit over 50 homeruns. Thats almost a 33 percent decrease in homeruns and this is no coincidence. These athletes have displayed the effect that doping can have on the game of sports, and there is no room in the game for it.
