Ian ConstantineControversial Bonds breaks home-run record
August 8th 2007 09:12
Big hit
Whilst Giants fans rejoice, others are questioning the legality of Bonds involvement in the sport. Controversy has always shadowed the big hitter with constant steroid allegations dogging his career. The 43-year-old is sure to come under more scrutiny now that he holds one of America’s most loved and prestigious records.
Drugs have always been a prevalent issue in sport, but with another Tour De France fiasco and the recent allegations made by Jason Akermanis, it seems we are no closer to solving the problem. The testers are always one step behind the drug designers and it is practically impossible to keep up. There are literally thousands of substances that are untraceable and this can be mighty tempting in the proessional world of sport.
What can testers do to prevent drug use in sport? What deterrent should there be for athletes that test positive to banned substances?
In most cases it seems the athlete is guilty before proven innocent. Any allegation against a sport star lingers, their name can be tarnished forever, without the slightest bit of proof. I guess we are a cynicle, fickle society.
