The MLB wants to nip doping in the bud

The Major League Baseball put efforts to prevent usage of steroids. It desires to nip doping in the bud. Then it will be capable to achieve the big show. One of the locations where the efforts of the MLB are applied and clearly seen is the Dominican Republic.
Those that live in the Dominican Republic desire to play professional baseball in the U. S. This is not only a dream. This desire becomes real. Thus, the whole family changes the location where the family lives. Unfortunately, many persons are lured to administrate steroids and other related drugs which increase performance to reach their goal.
The Dominican Republic is a country in which numerous individuals take steroids and other medicines that promote performance. That’s why a sportsperson from this location is asked whether he has applied steroids or other related medications. Undoubtedly, this person claims that he has never doped because tests are performed and everybody is afraid to be caught using any controlled substance.
The MLB subjects to tests athletes from the Dominican Republic. Thus, one year 13 persons out of 40 tested amateur sportspersons from this location tested positive. The MLB plans to tests Dominicans and to punish those that dope.
It is reported that the number of Dominicans that are sent to the MLB is essentially higher than the number of players that are sent from all countries of the Latin America.
The MLB tries to push steroids out of baseball. Amateur players are taught about dangers for their health associated with steroids. They are educated about undesirable results that can be provoked by steroids.
The financial position of the Dominican Republic is a significant problem in this case. The average wage is about 8, 5000 dollars per year there. To receive a signing bonus of 180, 000 dollars is a true achievement for any player from this Republic. That’s why athletes from the Dominican Republic are especially lured to dope for such perspectives. They want to get a contract for playing professional baseball in the MLB. They try to get it for well-being of their families and for improvement quality of life in future. Getting a contract means moving from a rented small house to a private home, from poverty to normal life, from travelling by bus to driving own car.
In fact, usage of steroids is not a problem only in the Dominican Republic. It is a problem which destroys the whole world. No one sportsperson may be sure whether he competes against an individual who has natural skills and talents or against a person that takes steroids and other related preparations. That’s why it is important to nip administration of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in the bud.
Youth should be taught about risks connected with doping not only in the Dominican Republic or only in the U. S. but everywhere.
