Pete Rose’s wife is angry that her husband is not in Hall of Fame

The former MLB player Pete Rose is a clever individual. He realizes own faults and don’t blame others for his problems. He is an example for other baseball players who have been dishonored for intake of steroids or other faults.
As for Pete Rose, he was never associated with anabolic steroids. This man had essential success while playing professional baseball. He acquired 3 World Series rings, a MVP award, 3 batting titles, 2 Gold Gloves, etc. However Pete Rose didn’t use anabolic steroids and other forbidden preparations, he made another mistake. This person bet on baseball games. As a result, he was banned from the Hall of Fame permanently.
Pete Rose hopes that the decision will be modified and he will be elected for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Being in Cooperstown, Pete Rose’s wife was full of anger. She and her husband, a former successful baseball player, had to watch Hall of Fame festivities like ordinary persons. While Pete Rose’s wife was too disappointed, the former professional baseball player seemed not to have the same feelings.
Pete Rose affirms that he has patience. He will continue to wait until he gets the second chance. The athlete promises that he will never bet on games again. He notes that the second chance will be enough for him to display that he is a trustworthy athlete. He will not need to obtain the 3rd chance.
Pete Rose puts efforts to urge his wife that he is not in the Hall of Fame because of own behavior. He adds that they shouldn’t blame others. He is guilty. That’s why he is suspended.
Pete Rose realizes that he is like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens and other sportspersons connected with the steroid era. Pete Rose believes that Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds are amazing baseball players that should be elected for the Hall of Fame. He underlines that Roger Clemens is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame just because of suspicions. This athlete hasn’t failed any drug test. You haven’t seen Roger Clemens having steroids and needles in his hand. That’s why you don’t have any right to claim that he has taken these medications. So, it is not correct to blame and punish the baseball player while lacking proof.

Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds don’t lose because they are rich

Does money cause happiness? Undoubtedly, it doesn’t. But money possesses significant power. However it can’t make you happy, it has ability to help to avoid prison in several situations. Let review the cases against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Someone has probably believed that these persons will lose. But you should not forget that rich guys never lose. Since they have money, they have a lot of chances to win.
Barry Bonds was accused of lying to a grand jury. He said under the oath that he had never applied any banned products. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating became obvious and he would go to jail. But remember: this baseball player has much money. Although he was convicted for obstruction of justice, he received just house arrest and community service. Moreover, even this light sentencing was appealed.
Roger Clemens, another athlete, was accused of lying under oath as well. He said that he had never taken any prohibited preparations. Finally, the athlete was cleared of all charges. Roger Clemens didn’t lose as well.
These cases manifest power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have engaged the best defense attorneys. Undoubtedly, you need much money in order to engage the most experienced defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could engage Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. So, it is naturally that federal prosecutors have lost under these circumstances.
Feds lost also in other cases. For example, let notice the case against the successful American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government decided to drop the case because it would lose.
Although the government spent much money for these cases, it couldn’t win. Federal prosecutors had only minor results in the cases against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
So, if you are a professional sportsperson, you may use steroids and/or other related substances, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid prison. Otherwise, you will be discredited and punished appropriately.

Kimberley Bell revealed changes that occurred in Barry Bonds because of steroids

Kimberley Bell, Barry Bonds’ ex girlfriend appeared in the trial to testify against the athlete. This woman claimed that there were evident changes in body of Barry Bonds. She noted that the athlete’s head enhanced. Kimberley Bell also mentioned that he had shrunken testicles. Moreover, he suffered from hair loss and acne. According to this woman, Barry Bonds also had abnormal behavior. He was too aggressive and impatient. Such changes are commonly related to intake of anabolic steroids.
Barry Bonds threatened to his ex mistress. He asked her disappear. Otherwise, he would cut her head off.
Thus, Kimberley Bell’s words served as a basis to continue charging Barry Bonds with perjury and obstructing justice. Certain years ago the baseball player affirmed under oath that he had never used steroids. But as it turned out, he probably lied under oath.
Presenting information about Barry Bonds, Kimberley Bell began to cry two times during the course. Once the woman was interrupted by a defense attorney for Barry Bonds.
Kimberley Bell was asked whether steroid use was discussed by her and Barry Bonds. Bell said that once Barry Bonds revealed that he was administering anabolic steroids. The baseball player suffered from an elbow injury around 1999-2000. The injury was too severe, according to Kimberley Bell. So, she asked Barry Bonds about the awful injury. The baseball player claimed that anabolic steroids promoted growing muscles essentially and rapidly. As a result, the joint couldn’t handle so rapid and significant changes in the size of muscles.
Chris Arguedas, a defense attorney for Barry Bonds, accused Kimberley Bell of attempts to become celebrated and make money because of her relations with the great athlete. She tried to induce selling a book about her relationships with Barry Bonds.

Great players must enter Baseball Hall of Fame

Such celebrated baseball players, as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza, have not been introduced into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Is it fair? These sportsmen have reached amazing results while playing professional baseball. But it is claimed that there is no any place for dopers in the Hall of Fame.
Thus, several individuals affirm that if dopers are introduced into the Hall of Fame, it will have negative influence for future generations. Young persons should comprehend that successful baseball players are those that haven’t used any doping product. Actually, it is nonsense. Barry Bonds, Mike Piazza and Roger Clemens are always considered to be the best baseball players. If even they don’t enter the Hall of Fame, they will be always praised. These sportsmen have achieved great results. Nobody can doubt about their achievements.
Let think logically. For example, you see the prettiest girl in the town. But she fails to win Miss of America. Does she lose its beauty? Do you discontinue admiring of her beauty just because she hasn’t win the title of Miss of America? Answers are obvious. The same situation is with Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Mike Piazza. They are excellent players, regardless whether they will enter the Hall of Fame or not.
Barry Bonds won certain MVPs before he was associated with steroids. Roger Clemens became celebrated for his baseball skills before he was accused of doping. When it comes to Mike Piazza, no one can contest that he is one of the best catchers.
It is claimed that the Baseball Hall of Fame is the place for the best baseball players that have ever played the game. Let suppose that Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza are not included in this category. Then we must introduce another category within the Baseball Hall of Fame. These players must enter the Hall of Fame. Otherwise, it loses its meaningfulness. Since the Hall of Fame is associated with greatness, it can’t exist without such amazing players, as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. Barry Bonds could make games exciting. He showed amazing baseball skills long before he was accused of doping. The same things may be said about Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. The Hall of Fame is nothing without these amazing players. That’s why it is needed to consider these aspects and change the attitude towards these players and the Hall of Fame. Otherwise, the integrity of this sport will be destructed.

Many persons are discouraged after attempts to lose weight

The New Year is claimed to be a time to produce modifications in life. A lot of individuals intend to do certain things for improvement of physique since January. January is time for new beginnings. Many persons start applying weight loss agents since January. They desire to lose extra fat since the New Year. The New Year is time of some new beginnings for sportspeople and bodybuilders as well.

Certain other persons want to reach several other goals connected with their physical appearances.
It is not surprisingly that many persons desire to lose fat since the New Year. It is set that a person usually adds 1-2 pounds since the Thanksgiving till the Christmas. As for those that are predisposed to obesity, they gain up to 5 pounds of fat during the same period of time. Undoubtedly, it is impossible to say the same things about professional athletes and bodybuilders because they commonly can manage weight gains. They are guided by strict nutritional habits. That’s why they are unlikely to gain significant body mass, despites of holidays.
However numerous persons start doing something for improvement of physical appearance, not everyone reaches his/her goals. Unfortunately, many persons that don’t belong to professional bodybuilders don’t reach results related to fat loss. We don’t desire to discourage anybody but it is the reality. Why do a lot of persons fail to achieve results connected with fat loss? A lot of individuals take FDA-approved preparations for this need. But it is needed to note that these preparations are not effective for fat loss. You should know that bodybuilders commonly don’t apply FDA-approved weight loss remedies. Moreover, common persons don’t possess knowledge about correct nutrition which would be suitable for fat loss. In addition to these factors, it is necessary to perform several physical exercises in order to reach great results.
That’s why it is recommended to do own research connected with efficacious methods applied for weight loss. Don’t worry! You may find proper information on various sites. Find out what sportspeople and bodybuilders do and administer for fat loss. This knowledge can help you to apply right methods and achieve obvious results.

Lance Armstrong may be allowed to return to professional cycling

A person who didn’t want to be indentified has announced that Lance Armstrong plans to admit to taking banned medications during an interview with the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the famous cyclist? Opinions differ. Certain individuals claim that if the disgraced American cyclist admits to doping, he will restore his reputation. Others suppose that the admission will alter nothing. Certain other individuals suppose that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will probably go to jail.
It is known that Lance Armstrong denied taking steroids and other forbidden preparations. He seemed to succeed till the USADA published a report on him. The USADA’s dossier provided doping evidence. As a result, the cyclist was stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles. Moreover, his sponsors left him. In addition to these negative aspects, Lance Armstrong had to distance himself from the cancer-fighting foundation Livestrong in order to prevent hurting it.
Will Lance Armstrong admit to applying forbidden medicines? Which will be consequences?
Certain experts think that prosecution will take place, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has pronounced under the oath that he never applied any banned drugs. So, if he admits to doping, it means that he acknowledges that he has lied under the oath. As a result, he may go to prison. That’s why certain experts say that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are persons who claim that the admission will change nothing. Millions of individuals with cancer that have survived with the help of Livestrong praise Lance Armstrong. The former cyclist is a hero for them. These persons like the former cyclist, regardless of whether he has doped or not. If even Lance Armstrong admits to applying forbidden medicines throughout his athletic career, these individuals will continue to support him.
But there is also another opinion. If Lance Armstrong provides important information about intake of performance-enhancing drugs in the US Postal Service Cycling Team, his ban from competitions may be reduced. Thus, Lance Armstrong will probably return to professional cycling.
It is unclear whether Lance Armstrong will really admit and which results will follow.

Dallas Morning News nominated legendary American cyclist as Texan of the Year

The Dallas Morning News represents a daily newspaper that is very popular in the USA. Several persons whose deeds have great impact on the society are chosen each year for the “Texan of the Year” award. It is necessary to know that not just positive actions are taken into account. Even actions that have been influenced on the society negatively may promote receiving the “Texan of the Year” award. Thus, Lance Armstrong’s doping scandal made the cyclist the finalist for the “Texan of the Year” award.
As you know, Lance Armstrong’s doping case is not pleasant. Although this scandal disgraced the celebrated American cyclist, it made him more prominent. The scandal had great impact on the society. A lot of individuals discussed the situation linked with his administration of anabolic steroids, EPO and other related products. A lot of individuals focused on the following questions: “Have Lance Armstrong actually used doping products?”, Why has he lied?”, Which drugs have been taken by him?”, How could he remain undetectable?”, etc.
The Dallas Morning News didn’t fail to present positive actions of Lance Armstrong as well. The newspaper mentioned about efforts of the cyclist for the foundation that helps people with cancer to survive. The sportsman also promoted developing centers for researches related to treatment of cancer. The Dallas Morning News mentioned also about achievements of the athlete that were done during his cycling career. Since young age Lance Armstrong succeeded in cycling. He got a lot of awards. Lance Armstrong got 7 Tour de France titles.
Even testicular cancer couldn’t have negative influence on the celebrated cyclist. Although the cancer spread over the body, Lance Armstrong escaped from this dreadful trouble. Moreover, he came back to professional cycling after his treatment and continued to succeed. While all positive actions of Lance Armstrong didn’t make him a finalist for the “Texan of the Year” award, his doping case did it. Undoubtedly, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) contributed to his award. A report on Lance Armstrong’s doping case was released by the USADA. Moreover, the cyclist’s sponsors dropped him after it was proven that he had doped. So, numerous individuals were convinced that the cyclist had applied banned medications.
Texans admired of Lance Armstrong, when he had success in cycling. But when this sportsman fell down, they started to blame him. It is not surprisingly because this is the nature of Texans. While they like to make certain individuals heroes, they like to demonize them too.

Dana White doesn’t want to sign contract with USADA or VADA to clean MMA from doping

Dana White, the UFC president, believes that a lot of MMA fighters use marijuana. He is troubled by this issue. While anti-doping organizations try to eradicate administration of steroids and other related preparations, the UFC president says that it is necessary to test fighters for recreational drugs randomly. Dana White claims: “Forget about steroids!” He states that it is the time to be troubled by usage of marijuana and other recreational drugs by MMA fighters.
As you know, those who are caught using steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs receive suspensions. Which sanctions are for those who are caught taking recreational drugs? You should know that the punishment is the same.
Don’t you wonder how many fighters are caught using marijuana and/or other related drugs, if random testing for recreational drugs will be implemented in the UFC?
475 fighters have signed contracts with the UFC. It is supposed that if random testing is conducted, circa 80% of these fighters will be caught using these drugs.
The United State Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) would be glad to sign a contract with the UFC in order to promote cleaning it from doping. They claim that the UFC should have the same anti-doping program like other sports organizations have. But Dana White doesn’t want to sign a contract with the USDADA and the VADA. He underlines that the State Athletic Commission subjects fighters for drug testing. It is enough in order to clean the UFC from application of prohibited drugs, according to Dana White.
It becomes evident that the UFc president doesn’t desire to clean MMA from doping. Previously he has pronounced some affirmations for support of testosterone replacement therapy among fighters. He has affirmed that any fighter should apply steroids under indications of his doctor, if he has hypogonadism. Athletes must acquire therapeutic use exemptions in order to compete professionally while taking some steroids. But it is possible to suppose that therapeutic use exemptions frequently serve as an excuse for doping. Numerous famous fighters have acquired therapeutic use exemptions and administer steroids while fighting. Thus, doping continues prospering in MMA.
Why doesn’t Dana White put efforts to eradicate usage of performance-enhancing drugs and smoking pot from MMA? Think logically! The fight against doping and smoking will have negative impact on business.

Cheating and hypocrisy

Reporters frequently write articles about those that possess unnaturally enhanced muscles and strength. Reading their statements, you can notice that those that use steroids and/or other related preparations are harshly blamed. Such persons are criticized in our society. They are called “cheaters”. It is said that those who take anabolic steroids for athletic purposes may become addicted to these medications. Numerous articles also contain information linked with probable negative effects of steroids. However several adverse effects occur in steroid users, others are not proven scientifically. For example, it is widely reported about violence and murders committed by consumers of steroids. It is considered that anabolic steroids may cause uncontrolled behavior which results in crimes. However, so named “roid rage” connected with these preparations is claimed to be a controversial issue.
Many persons say that intake of steroids for obtaining of muscle mass and strength, hardening of muscles and fat loss is a moral issue. Let analyze! Is this affirmation free from hypocrisy? Why are just anabolic steroids blamed? Do only these medicines make the society unnatural? Let examine other aspects of the society! What do you think about sex stimulants? It is claimed that you should not suffer from sexual dysfunctions, when there are proper supplements to get rid of such problems. Moreover, what do you think about anti-aging products? Why should you have evident wrinkles, if there are methods to hide your age? Models and actors apply certain medicines but they are not named “cheaters”. Students take some preparations for increase of their cognitive abilities. They are not blamed too. Certain experts that have conducted certain studies claim that those that take steroids for increase of physical abilities are more harshly blamed than those that take several drugs to enhance cognitive abilities. Is it fair?
As you see, our world is full of hypocrisy, ignorance and unfair accusations. May you blame steroid users in this society? May you state that administration of steroids for performance-enhancing effects is a moral issue? Be real! If you start demonizing steroid users, don’t forget about other conditions of life!

Attitude of Dana White to testosterone replacement therapy

Intake of steroids for testosterone replacement therapy by sportspeople is a controversial issue. There are numerous debates related to it. It is known by anyone that steroids and some other related medicines are prohibited in many sports organizations. But if a person should apply these products under indications of his/her doctor for clinical needs, he/she should receive a therapeutic use exemption. However it is allowed to use even anabolic steroids for therapeutic purposes, such sportspersons are frequently demonized and named “cheaters”. In fact, it is unfair.
What does Dana White, the UFC president, think about application of steroids for testosterone replacement therapy? Does he blame fighters that administer steroids in order to increase their low levels of testosterone? Dana White affirms that any person with hypogonadism should apply steroids, if these medicines are recommended by his doctor. However it is fair, let note why some sportsmen have low testosterone levels. It is proven scientifically that steroid abuse may lead to suppression of natural testosterone production. Thus, several fighters and other sportspersons that have taken previously steroids for performance-enhancing effects may experience hypogonadism. Hence, their physicians recommend them applying several steroids in order to enhance their testosterone levels.
According to Dana White, testosterone replacement therapy is legal for all individuals, including professional sportsmen. So, if any sportsman experiences hypogonadism, he should be allowed to apply steroids indicated by his doctor. He should reach normal testosterone levels that characterize any healthy man of his age.
But the UFC president makes it clear that any fighter or another sportsperson who uses anabolic steroids and/or other banned drugs for athletic purposes must be suspended from competitions. It is important to make difference between those that take steroids for medical needs and those that want to obtain muscle mass and strength with the help these medicines. Nobody is allowed to take anabolic steroids for athletic purposes. It is forbidden in sports. Those that break anti-doping rules should be sanctioned. Sports must be drug-free.
It seems to be surprising that statements of Dana White differ substantially from statements presented by anti-doping officers. As you know, words of certain anti-doping officers for steroid users are much harsher than those said by the UFC president.
