Drug Enhancers in Today's Sports

Drugs have been a major part of society since the early ages. We have always used it to "better" ourselves in certain things. Sports have always been the main reason. Popular tennis player, Maria Sharapova, has been caught using performance enhancing drugs. This is a controversial subject as Sharapova is a five-time Grand Slam champion but has recently been going down in popularity due to her injuries restricting her performance. She was found out to be using dope as a substitute to help her. Sharapova as well is the highest paid woman in tennis today. This is unfair for many other players who choose not to take drugs. Although this is such a widely circulated problem throughout sports, drugs are still being used and not really looked after. Now Sharapova has been banned from playing tennis for 2 years and might be doing more damage to her already falling career.
