Assignment #11

North Arkansas College

Topic: Athletes on Steroids

    Some amateurs and professional athletes take anabolic steroids to help them "bulk up" or build strength.  The health risks of this practice are extensively documented.  

    1) Apart from these health issues, what is your opinion about the ethics of athletes using chemicals to enhance performance?

    2) Is this a form of cheating, or is it just a part of the preparation required to stay competitive in a sport where anabolic steroids are commonly used?  Defend you opinion.
