Alex Rodriguez's Steroid case

Alex Rodriguez had admitted to using steroids in the past. It began as this. Many people speculated on why he may have done so. I believe he was not justified in doing so because of a few reasons. There isn't any excuse for taking or using any illegal substances.

He did not have respect for the game's reputation. If he did, he would not have taken steroids. He might have caused disgrace to the league. He did not think what would have happened and who it might have affected, by taking steroids. His action also disgusted the team's coach that he had worked with previously. He might have made fans assume that all baseball players would use steroids to succeed.

He seemed to think that to succeed in his goal, he needed a boost. This is not true as practice, skill and ability determines how good a person is. Taking steroids or any other performance-enhancing substance only shows how dependent you are on them. His action would have shown this to his fans.

There is no reason why he should have taken steroids at that time. If he was not playing well, he might have been going through a bad time or have a nerves problem. If he was doing great, then why should he take steroids at all? If he tried to do this to become better, he has only managed in ruining his reputation. These are some ways in which I think Alex Rodriguez is not justified for using steroids.
