New Policy On Steroid Testing In Major League Baseball: Morally Justified?
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. It was only a matter of time before the black eye of steroidal use throughout major league baseball would instigate official policy as a means by which to try to re-establish the pure and unadulterated national pastime of long ago. Today's drug use within the league is responsible for a slow but steady decline in the combined factors of attendance and respect, a coupling that one would not necessarily expect to find within the realm of sports but one that has become wholly integrated in the way fans have responded to what has transpired with arguably the most favored game in America. In short, because steroidal use is not a morally justifiable action on the player's part, the implementation of new testing policy represents a direct moral response that demands users abide by the same contractual rules with which they agreed when first signing to play ball.
