The three perspectives I took for the exploratory paper were the fans against performance enhancing drug use, the fans for it because they were being more entertained, and the tv stations who enjoyed it because of the ratings. For the most part, I believe that everybody is on the side that says steroids is wrong; that everybody believes that steroids is morally incorrect and is cheating.
The perspective I think that needs to be correct is the side that is the fans who are now being entertained due to the increased amount of homeruns being hit. It is fairly obvious that more fans were getting more into the game since 1998 when the home run surge began.
In order to make this more of a policy, they need to just be more lenient on the use of steroids and not have the media blast on everybody who uses them. Drug testing was effective as of 2004, and steroids were available long before that. That means that everybody before then had the chance to use steroids and no one cared. If they get caught then they get caught, dont make a public scene about it. All records should go asterisk free because theyre now just keying in on people when baseball has been around for more than 100 years.
