The Major League Baseball tries to do everything to stop using steroids. It wants to nip doping in the bud. Then it will be capable to achieve the big show. One of the locations where the efforts of the MLB are applied and clearly seen 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 drives. Unfortunately, numerous persons are lured to take steroids and other related medicines to reach their goal.
The Dominican Republic is a country where a lot of persons take steroids and other preparations which enhance performance. That’s why an athlete from this location is asked whether he has used steroids or other related medications. Of course, this person confirms that he has never doped because tests are performed and anybody is afraid to be caught using any controlled substance.
The MLB subjects to tests athletes from the Dominican Republic. So, one year 13 persons out of 40 tested amateur sportspersons from this location tested positive. The MLB plans to tests Dominicans and to punish those that dope.
It is said 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 educated about dangers for their health related to steroids. They are educated about unwanted reactions which can be provoked by steroids.
The financial position of the Dominican Republic is a significant problem in this situation. The average wage is about 8, 5000 dollars per year there. To receive a signing bonus of 180, 000 dollars is a true achievement for any athlete from this Republic. That’s why sportspersons from this location are especially inclined to dope for such perspectives. They want to obtain a contract for playing professional baseball in the MLB. They try to obtain it for well-being of their families and for improvement quality of life 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 bus to driving own car.

No one sportsperson may be sure whether he competes against an individual that has natural skills and talents or against an individual who takes steroids and other related preparations. That’s why it is necessary to nip usage of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in the bud.
Youth must be taught about troubles related to doping not just in the Dominican Republic or just in the U. S. but everywhere.
