You Are Being Lied To, Again: Baseball's New Drug- Review
This article was about a semi-recent issue
regarding performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball. The author
explains the consequences, availability of these drugs, and his personal
experience and opinion on this subject. As an avid fan of “outside-the-lines”
sports stories, I tried to follow this topic as much as I could. This article
made me remember all the hype that was going on for players like Barry Bonds,
Mark McGwire, and numerous others. I really liked how he included himself as a
primary source using these drugs for medical reason and having no bias
involved. I also really like how he brings America’s opinion into his research
because unless you are a true baseball fan, smashing homeruns and throwing
faster fastballs are all people want to see, no matter how they do it. Also, if
anyone starts performing better, America is going to start becoming suspicious about
said persons medical treatments. I believe his ethos is very strong because he
does include numerous sources and lack of bias.
