You should care, not because teenagers and youth are harmed by this, even though they most likely are. 1 You should care, not because elite athletes or those attempting to become elite athletes are harmed by this, even though they most likely are. 2 Whether you are a recreational athlete or a couch potato, whether you are a serious sports fan, a casual fan, or not a fan at all, you should care about the fact that it is highly likely that you have been harmed by doping in sports.

  • The $90,000,000 Man: Bonds, BALCO and Baseball
    The $90,000,000 Man: Bonds, BALCO and Baseball By Evelyn Milias Senior Division Historical Paper Word Count: 2,496 In 1998, Barry Bonds was in his fifth season with the San Francisco Giants, and his twelfth season in Major League Baseball. It was a record-breaking season for Bonds: he hit his 400th home run and became the only player ever to have 400 home runs and 400 stolen bases, and received his eighth Golden Glove award.1 Despite Bonds’ accomplishments, he was overshadowed that season by the home run slugfest between the Chicago Cubs’ Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire of the Oakland A’s. McGwire finished the 1998 season with a new record 70 home runs.2 Bonds, feeling jealous,3 broke McGwire’s record in 2001 with 73 single-season home runs. In August 2007, Bonds hit his 756th home run in his home ballpark, breaking the all-time home run record previously held by Hank Aaron.4 His accomplishments were a triumph for him as a player, and for all of the MLB. However, allegations of steroid use tainted Bonds’ records; his record-breaking ball was purchased at auction then sent to the Baseball Hall of Fame with an asterisk on it,5 representing the lingering questions surrounding the underlying reasons for Bonds’ athletic prowess, as well as those of many other elite athletes. Ultimately, Bonds’ triumphant breaking of a long-standing home run record, as well as a season home run record, were overshadowed by the tragedy of steroid use allegations and criminal investigations. One organization, Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (“BALCO”), connected Bonds and many of these other athletes.

Silvestri 1 Controversies in Baseball Over the last 150 years, baseball has been one of the most popular American sports. Ever since its inception in the 19 th century, it has been known as our “Great American Past-Time”. As the sport of baseball has evolved and developed into the game it is today, there have been controversial scandals that have helped reshape our perceptions of baseball’s biggest stars. In 1919, eight Chicago White Sox players were banned from the game of baseball forever after they conspired with gamblers to throw the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. This went down as one of the most famous scandals in baseball history because it nearly destroyed the integrity of the sport.

Quinn, Lester Munson and Mark Fainaru-Wada ESPN.com http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=6230604 SAN FRANCISCO -- Can't discern the witnesses from the investigators from the attorneys from the judges from others in the Barry Bonds perjury trial without a lineup card? The defendant … well, you know him already. So here is a who's who, in alphabetical order, of Case No. 3:07-CR-00732 pending in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California: USA v. Bonds: GREG ANDERSON: Bonds' childhood friend who later became his personal trainer and, according to the government, provided steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs to the home run king. Anderson will be the elephant in the room at the trial, looming large in absence. After serving three months in prison for his role in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative steroids conspiracy, Anderson spent 14 months behind bars for refusing to testify about his relationship with Bonds. He is expected to again disregard a subpoena and thus be imprisoned for the duration of the trial. (Plus, he faces additional jail time if the government or the judge decides to pursue criminal contempt charges.) Without Anderson, the judge has ruled significant pieces of evidence inadmissible, most notably three positive steroids tests from 2000 and 2001 that the government says reflect Bonds' use of the steroids methenolone and nandrolone. CRIS ARGUEDAS: A nationally recognized criminal defense lawyer, Arguedas started her career in California defending abused women, quickly became a star public defender in the federal courts and now is routinely listed as one of the top 10 defense lawyers in California.

Bernt Athletes utilizing supplements to boost performance in sports have existed as long as athletic competition. Recently, media reports about this issue have increased after performance-enhancing drugs became part of the culture of baseball, the American pastime. Previous research has demonstrated the agenda setting effects of media coverage of steroids in sports. Weekly news magazines, such as Sports Illustrated, Newsweek and Time, are crucial media that set the public agenda for numerous topics, including athletics. The period between 1986 and 2006 saw performance-enhancing drug use develop from an unacknowledged phenomenon to a topic discussed around the water cooler at work. Through content analysis, this study associates the agenda setting effect of weekly news magazine coverage of the issue of performance-enhancing drugs in sports with the frames used to take this issue outside the locker room and into the public consciousness.

In addition to his standard two year ban imposed by WADA, he was also banned from Olympic competition for life by the British Olympic Association. This paper examines the background to that ban and the challenge to the legal status of his lifetime exclusion that Chambers undertook in the High Court. Summary Abstract 57 Summary 57 I.
