Doping should be nipped in the bud

The Major League Baseball put efforts to stop using steroids. It wants to nip doping in the bud. Then it will be capable to achieve the big show. One of the locations where the efforts of the MLB are applied and clearly seen is the Dominican Republic.
Those who 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, numerous individuals are inclined to take steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs to achieve their goal.
The Dominican Republic is a country where a lot of persons take steroids and other products that increase performance. That’s why a sportsperson from this location is asked whether he has applied steroids or other related medications. Undoubtedly, this individual claims that he has never doped because tests are performed and anybody is afraid to be caught administrating any controlled substance.
The MLB subjects to tests athletes from the Dominican Republic. So, one year 13 persons out of 40 tested amateur athletes from this location tested positive. The MLB intends to tests Dominicans and to punish those that dope.
It is said that the number of Dominicans that are sent to the MLB is significantly 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 taught about risks for their health connected with steroids. They are taught about unwanted results that may be caused by steroids.
The financial position of the Dominican Republic is a significant problem in this situation. The average wage is approximately 8, 5000 dollars per year there. To get a signing bonus of 180, 000 dollars is a true achievement for any athlete from this Republic. That’s why athletes from the Dominican Republic are especially inclined to dope for such perspectives. They desire to get a contract for playing professional baseball in the MLB. They want to obtain it for well-being of their families and for improvement of their lives in future. Obtaining a contract means moving from a rented small house to a private home, from poverty to normal life, from travelling by bus to driving own car.
Actually, doping is not a problem just in that is limited within the Dominican Republic. It is a trouble that corrupts the whole world. No one sportsperson can be sure whether he competes against an individual that has natural skills and talents or against an individual that takes steroids and other related preparations. That’s why it is necessary to nip intake of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in the bud.
Youth must be educated about problems related to doping not only in the Dominican Republic or only in the U. S. but everywhere.
