         <description><![CDATA[<div>Professional athletes do choose to stay clean. They are at an inherent disadvantage to the people who don't choose to stay clean. There will always be a place in sports where it will be natural and people want to be their best. Sports coaches may suspend players for getting arrested but not for using the actual steroids themselves. Using steroids has become a natural assumption made by coaches. Steroids can be extremely dangerous for your body, mindset, and career so therefore steroids should be banned in any sport.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There are more deaths are related to alcohol rather than steroids. Not all athletes choose to take steroids, and they won't ruin you so steroids shouldn't be illegal. Athletes who use steroids are stripped from their championship/medal/title. The doctors at Northeastern University injected steroids into adolescent hamsters and found the animals turned very aggressive. Steroids give an unfair advantage, but other athletes are bigger and stronger. Overall, sports are unfair and people take steroids to try and make it better so therefore steroids should be legal.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Athletes may abuse the use of marijuana for "healing injuries". There is no way to completely monitor how much athletes may intake. Drug testing will obviously show they are taking something, but it might not show how much. The only way to know how much athletes take all the time is to monitor them all the time, which no one wants to do. Most prescription opioids do not lead to addiction, but marijuana could lead to addiction. In conclusion, marijuana should not be allowed in sports because it can develop many life threatening symptoms.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This cyclist went to a law school and has a very strong point of view. He believes that doping has no place in sports, it goes against the fundamentals of sports. Sports are about enjoying the game whether people win or lose. This society has turned sports into a competition to see who can get the best steroids or who can get the biggest while taking steroids. This has become such a big issue that professional sports leagues have even created their own rules for doping. If someone dopes during their career on a professional team they could potentially ruin their career and possibly their life.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Steroids have several positive aspects, they can be used for medical purposes. Steroids have been classified into two categories: anabolic steroids and steroid injections. There are three ways steroids can be injected into a human body, stacking, cycling, and pyramiding. Stacking is extremely dangerous as this involves using more than one steroid at a time. Cycling on the other hand involves taking a steroid over a certain period of time, allowing the body to rest and then starting afresh. Pyramiding is a process that combines both cycling as well as stacking. There is no safe way to inject steroids into a body, and they ruin lives and careers. </div>]]></description>
