Dopers from the Dominican Republic try to improve life of their families

The Major League Baseball put efforts to prevent usage of steroids. It desires to nip doping in the bud. Then it will be able to reach the big show. One of the locations where the efforts of the MLB are applied and clearly observed is the Dominican Republic.
Those who 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, numerous individuals are inclined to administrate steroids and other related drugs which increase performance to reach their goal.
The Dominican Republic is a country in which a lot of people use steroids and other preparations that enhance performance. That’s why an athlete from this location is asked whether he has applied steroids or other related preparations. Of course, this individual claims that he has never doped because tests are performed and anybody fears to be caught administrating any controlled substance.
The MLB subjects to tests sportspersons from the Dominican Republic. Thus, one year 13 persons out of 40 tested amateur athletes from this location tested positive. The MLB plans to tests Dominicans and to penalize those who dope.
It is proclaimed that the number of Dominicans that are sent to the MLB is significantly 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 side results which can be provoked by steroids.
The financial position of the Dominican Republic is a great problem in this situation. The average salary is approximately 8, 5000 dollars per year there. To get a signing bonus of 180, 000 dollars is a real achievement for any Dominican. That’s why athletes from this location are especially inclined to dope for such perspectives. They desire to obtain a contract for playing professional baseball in the MLB. They desire to get it for well-being of their families and for improvement of their lives in future. Obtaining a contract means moving from a rented small house to a private home, from poverty to normal conditions of life, from travelling by public transport to driving own car.
Actually, doping is not a problem just in that is limited within the Dominican Republic. It is a trouble which destroys the whole world. No one athlete can be sure whether he competes against an individual that has natural skills and talents or against an individual that dopes. That’s why it is important to nip administration of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in the bud.
Youth must be taught about troubles connected with doping not just in the Dominican Republic or just in the U. S. but everywhere.
