Everywhere youth must be educated about dangers related to steroids and other related medicines

The Major League Baseball tries to do everything to stop using steroids. It wants to nip doping in the bud. Then it will be able to reach the big show. One of the locations where the efforts of the MLB are applied and clearly observed is the Dominican Republic.
Those that live in the Dominican Republic desire to play professional baseball in the U. S. This is not only a dream. This desire becomes real. So, the whole family drives. Unluckily, a lot of individuals are lured to use steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs to achieve their goal.
The Dominican Republic is a country in which a lot of people use steroids and other products that enhance performance. That’s why a sportsperson from this location is asked whether he has used steroids or other related preparations. Of course, this individual claims that he has never doped because tests are performed and everybody fears to be caught using any controlled substance.
The MLB subjects to tests athletes from the Dominican Republic. Thus, one year 13 persons out of 40 tested amateur sportspersons from this location tested positive. The MLB plans to tests Dominicans and to penalize those who dope.
It is said that the number of Dominicans that are sent to the MLB is essentially higher than the number of players that are sent from all countries of the Latin America.
The MLB puts significant efforts to push steroids out of baseball. Amateur players are educated about risks for their health related to steroids. They are taught about unwanted symptoms which may be provoked by steroids.
The financial position of the Dominican Republic is a significant problem in this case. The average wage is about 8, 5000 dollars per year there. To receive a signing bonus of 180, 000 dollars is a real achievement for any athlete from this Republic. That’s why athletes from this location are especially lured to dope for such perspectives. They desire to obtain a contract for playing professional baseball in the MLB. They want to obtain it for well-being of their families and for better life in future. Obtaining a contract means moving from a rented small house to a private home, from poverty to normal conditions of life, from travelling by public transport to driving own car.
Actually, usage of steroids is not a problem only in the Dominican Republic. It is a trouble which destroys the whole world. No one athlete can be sure whether he competes against a person that has natural skills and talents or against a person that dopes. That’s why it is important to nip usage of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in the bud.
 Youth should be educated about problems related to doping not just in the Dominican Republic or only in the U. S. but around the world.
