Phase 3

The first article I found that is a great start to my topic was written by Dan Levy and is titled "The Steroid Era in Major League Baseball Will Never, Ever End". A Chief writer of BleacherReport.com and author of this article, Dan Levy, is a very credible writer. He has written for countless other credible websites such as SportingNews.com and the website of the Washington Post. Throughout his career he has become a well known and respected writer. This article is very helpful for my project because it not only is a good topic to discuss but it is also a relatable topic for my intended audience. Dan believes that the certain athletes in professional baseball that continue to get caught won't stop until the consequences are very severe. I really enjoyed reading this article.

The second article I located is titled "MLB steroids: Biogenesis clinic allegedly sold PEDs to current players". Now while there are no specific authors given for this article, it is still very credible because it was written by the staff of the Sporting News staff. Much like the Bleacher Report, this website is very well recognized and respected in the sports world. This article is very important in terms of my project. It provides an up to date story that allows the audience to realize that this is a very big issue going on in the sports world today. Here is the link to this article;

  2. It would be interesting to see if steroid use in baseball is influenced by steroid use in other sports (i.e. ray lewis and his deer antler spray, lance armstrong and his red blood cell replacement therapy) or vice versa....
