This article brings up major points regarding Performance Enhancing Drugs

Should the punishment for performance enhancing drugs be more severe
So, this is my first article, and i decided to do it on Performance Enhancing Drugs, or "Steroids". The reason I am bringing this up is because many people think that the punishment for Steroids should be higher. And in this article I will bring up key points and ask for your thoughts

One of the biggest cases of steroids was when Manny Ramirez was found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs. Manny got a 50 game suspension that really wasn't even 50 games. Before the 50 games were up he was sent to play for the LA Dodgers AAA farm team in Arizona. My personal beleif is that if he was found gulity why should he be given time to rehab from his 50 game absence he deserved? If he did the drug he shouldn't be worried about his performance, In my oppinion the MLB, and every other sport needs to go alot harder on the althletes who are doing these drugs. If the leagues keep on treating the players like this it will never stop the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs. But it is not my opponion that matters it is your guys.

Another thing about the use of these drugs that is starting to get out of hand is how long ago you used them. I dont care if you used them in 2003. YOU STILL CHEATED, the leagues also need to buckle down on that rule they cannot keep letting the players get away with that. if we do not stop the use of this problem major league sports will be ruined forever, do we really want are children looking up to a bunch of cheaters i know i don't. But once again it is not my say so it is yours, so do me a favor rate the article and give it a comment, and remember its not what i think its what you think
