Doping in sports have been a main issue where many athletes take part of it. Doping is the use and abuse of performance enhancing substances in elite sports. Some of us may know of the major league baseball player Barry Bonds who had quite of a successful season. In 2001 Barry Bonds had passed Mark McGwire’s home-run record which at the time he was playing for the San Francisco Giants. He was caught with performing enhancing drugs which was under investigation. Steroids is what he was using and around this time I did hear about Barry Bonds a lot as a child hitting home-runs as usual was just devastating to hear about this type of drug he was caught using. In 2000’s doping was major in the sport field and it seem as most athletes were using this. I believe that Barry Bonds should not have taking steroids because he was good athlete already and it is unfair to the league. ”The game of shadows” grew out of the groundbreaking reporting and is based on interviews with more than 200 people and hundreds of pages of documents, including the secret grand jury testimony of Mr. Bonds by the investigation of the use of doping. This particular action that Barry Bonds took, was not going to go away and he was later going to pay for his actions. Mr. Bonds appeared on Sports Illustrated that discussed the outrage of the use of steroid use of baseball. I feel as Mr. Bonds should have been punished because there is rules to the sport. Barry Bonds speaking out on the use of steroids was the best thing he could have done. We should all know that we are all humans and we all make mistakes. The steroid that Mr. Bond used was created to improve the muscle quality of cattle beef. In later one author mentioned that Barry Bonds looked like a WWE wrestler or a toy superhuman figure. Basically doping can definitely interrupt the league and cause problems within the league.
