Side Effects of steroids

I searched my delicious account looking for articles and videos that cover the steroids with professional athlete. I found that alot of the articles and videos had stories and information about the side effects that came with steroids. I believe that this part of my research will be very easy since their is a mass load of information. I want too do some of the side effects in the research paper but stay on the path that is the consequences that come with steroids.

Eng 1020 Steroids and conflicts with government

1. Professional athletes in conflicts with Government.
2. Steroids in professional sports
3. Cloning
4. Government Relations
5. Hazardous Waste

My topic I have chosen is a combination of two categories on my list. Those being number one and two. I believe i can work into the subjects together, by showing how athletes were in conflict with the government in the past and now today the modern conflict with government steroids. I believe this will make it interesting showing how things have changed in such a short time. It will also show my views on the rights of the athlete and their beliefs.

I do know quite a bit about the general information of these subjects, but i want to go way deeper. I want to know everything the government said and the athletes. I want to find out what the punishments were and who was not punished. I love sports so i believe I would have the ambition too make sure this was a great research paper and topic.

Since i know a lot about sports and have a passion for them I believe this would be the best topic for me to research. Like I said I only know the basic information that everyone else knows and i want to know all of it. I want to make this paper useful to my knowledge and too others knowledge. I hope this is a topic that I am going to be allowed to do.
