Steroids

Today in sports, many athletes use steroids to improve their performances.  No matter if steroids are against the rules in professional sports, many athletes still get caught for using enhancing drugs to make them the best.  Today, Alex Rodriguez came forward and admitted to using steroids from 2001 to 2003.  Even though he apologized for his illegal drug use, he is now being put into the "cheating" category with Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire.  This will most likely anger his fans and may be faced with fines.

So why come forward now? It has been five years since he had taken steroids and had not gotten into trouble.  At this point in A-Rod's career, he was falling out of the limelight.  With a very public divorce and talk of an affair with world famous singer Madonna, I feel that he wanted to be back in the limelight for a little bit longer.
