The amount of drugs used in baseball to try to enhance a players ability baffles me. What shocks me even more is that more drug testing is not done to try to prevent this. Baseball is never going to be raised to the glory that it once was until all of the performance enhancing drugs are out of the sport.
There are tests that players have to go through during a season that try to stop the use of drugs. These are administered through urine testing. But these tests do not catch human growth hormone. Players like Derek Jeter are taking a stand and pushing for blood tests. Drugs, including HGH can be caught in these tests.
We need more players like Jeter in all sports. Jeter is a player that has raw talent and has enough respect for himself and the game that he doesn’t get involved in the stupidity of hgh. I love that he is taking a stand for something that he feels is right. I totally agree with him that baseball is never going to be great again unless we get these drugs out of the sport. Why do we look up to these people if they aren’t even secure in their own talent? Lets get more talent with less insecurity. Drugs need to be taken out of baseball.
