How to Fix the Steroids Mess in Baseball

The amount of pro athletes in professional baseball using PEDs is a worrying concern. At the moment, 114 pro athletes have taken steroids or some kind of illegal performance enhancer, and a handful more haven’t been exposed. Of those 114, sixteen have come clean about their use with slight to no scolding by officials. That means 98 athletes tell untruths every day about breaking the rules in a game. There are mounting quantities of users every day, how may this dilemma be exterminated from The usa’s pastime?

My key planned resolution is to adjust the athletes’ contracts. Players who take steroids consistently have higher salaries because teams want heaps of HRs and RBIs (runs batted in). The athletes who test positive for prohibited substances should receive some kind of financial loss in their salaries.

Money is clearly a dynamic factor in baseball and if athletes are encouraged by cash to not cheat, they might feel apt to either stop using or never use at all. This resolution seems very sound because the majority of athletes are either voracious or prefer to hold on to the money they bring in.

My other answer would involve using locker room or dugout “watchdogs.” These people might range from being league employees, team employees, or just staff like the bat boy or team assistant. The MLB will give a list to the monitors of players it would prefer to observe and the watchdogs might monitor what the competitor does.

These watchdogs might search competitor’s dugouts for steroids or watch specific athletes vigilantly (since most steroid use is in fact done in the dugout). Finally, the monitors can get a warrant and trace shipments to the players’ home or inspect phone logs (if that specific player is on major league baseball’s watchlist).

When a competitor is caught breaking the rules, as an alternative to a 50 game or perhaps a 100 game suspension, there will be even more serious suspensions. If baseball were to implement this, the mandatory penalty would be 130 games. If a player has taken lots of drugs then he might be illicit for the full season, 162 games.

As I have proven, the ruling forces of both baseball and America need to implement these solutions if they would like uprightness to come back to The usa’s national hobby.
