Athlete who uses Performance Enhancing Substances
There have been several court documents that have shown that Barry Bonds tested positive for three types of steroids throughout his career. Among other evidence that has been made public there was a positive test for amphetamines in 2006 in a urine sample Bonds gave to Major League Baseball. There were doping calendars that his agent had maintained with the initials "BB" and a handwritten note seized from his house labeled "Barry" that appears to be a laundry list of steroids and planned blood tests (Court Documents Show Barry Bonds Tested Positive for 3 Types of Steroids, 2009)
According to his ex-girlfriend because of the steroids his body had grown thicker, his back was pocked with acne, his hair had fallen out and his testicles had shriveled. He would often ask her if she thought anyone would suspect he was on the juice. She also reported that he was always moody. She said that the drugs radically changed his behavior as well as his body. In the time that she knew him he became a different person, controlling, threatening and finally violent (O'Keefe, Michael, 2007).
Steroids are not good for a person physically or mentally and should not be allowed to be used in professional sports. Besides the fact that they are dangerous they taint the game as a whole. In the game of baseball the elusive home runs record that was chased for a very long time was a big deal, and when it was finally broken there was a lot of excitement that surrounded the game. But after hearing about all of the steroid and performance enhancing drug use that was going on during that time, it makes one question the entire validity of the record all together. If the record was not achieved without the use of drugs or steroids then it shouldn't be counted and thus not the real records that stands. It is highly unfair to those who set the record in the first place, drug free.

RITUALISTIC, RELIGIOUS, AND PRACTICAL USES OF PUBLIC SPACE AT THE ATHENIAN ACROPOLIS AND TRAJAN'S FORUM Acropolis is renowned as a fortified natural stronghold or citadel in ancient Greece. Greeks built their towns in plains near or around a rocky hill that could easily be fortified and defended. Nearly every Greek city had its acropolis, which provided a safe place of refuge for townspeople during times of turmoil or war. Rulers of
This strategy, along with an "old-fashioned slap shot" - which was "drilled home...by Bill Baker of the University of Minnesota, in front of a crowd of 4,000 that half-filled the new field house" in Lake Placid.
