I love sports so when I got this project I knew I wanted to do it on sports but i didn't know what to do it on. So I started looking up different sports new from 20 years ago and steroids in the Olympics kept coming up so I was going to use steroids in sports and my first was going to be the Olympics. But that was to much so i had to look for one event and I found a story about a man named Ben Johnson who was stripped of his gold medal for using steroids. Then I used baseball as my last two because there was so much to use. The first thing I used was when drugs first where banned in baseball the second was when they put drug testing in baseball. I did a website the first thing I did was research and writing. Then i add my writing to the website. Then I made it look all good and neat.

This was a video it was an interview about Ben Johnson new book. But in the interview there where questions about him testing positive. In the beginning of the interview he was very sorry for everything that happen and he just wanted to say that god will make everything right. He also said he gives Andre Jackson forgiveness for what he did which is putting a banned suspends in Ben Johnson drink. Then he us asked why after 20 years did he write the book and he said final all the information he need came out and now he can final tell what really happened. But at the end of the video he talks about how many athlets use drugs all the time but he gets caught and that he is just a little fish in a big pool when it comes to drugs in sports

The artical I read was and interview with the old comminsner of baseball Fay Vincent. It was about just everything that he thing baseball can do different now and about how he could of done some things different and how he would do somethings different. So at one ponint he was asked a question on steroid testing, “(1) how do you feel management has handled the situation, and (2) how has the MLBPA handled the situation?” His answer was “Well, I think there’s an awful lot to be done. I think it’s a good start. I think it’s significant the union reopened the contract. They improved the sanctions. I think the public pressure was enormous and Congress should stay out of it. I don’t think they can get involved and do any sophisticated good and I think they know that. Congress has threatened for 40 years to get involved in baseball antitrust issues and never has and that’s a good thing.” The reason this is a big deal is because the only reason he sent out the memo in 1991 was because 1 year before that congress passed a law against steroids.

The thing I just read was the cba or the collateve barging agreement that the mlb agreed on in 2002. The reason I read this was because this is one of the dates I am going back to. In it, it said that the way the testing will change is every player will be tested twice at random and if you failed the first time you had to take another one and if you failed that you where suspned for how ever many games they seen fit.

The article I read was a day in the shoes of Ben Johnson. The day is the day he won the gold medal. It was very interesting because it but you in the conversation of when Ben Johnson found out that he had tested positive for a banned suspends. And lost his gold medal. In it is said that Ben said he had been given a water from some one he doesn't know who but when he was drinking it there was yellow stuff on the bottom. He said he did not do it and some one framed him. He appealed the stripping but was turned down again. He thought it was a joke that they where playing games with him. He still says he didn’t do anything wrong to this day.

This is an artical about June 7 1991. That is the date that the cominsiner of baseball sent out a seven page memo about the new rules. The rules said "The possession, sale or use of any illegal drug or controlled substance by Major League players or personnel is strictly prohibited ... This prohibition applies to all illegal drugs ... including steroids." The reson he put this out was because the congress passed a law that said it is against the law to use steroids other if your sick.

This artical was all about the top 10 drug scadels in sports. The thing I looked at was the US track and Field cover up. The thing that it said was from 1988 to 2000 there was 19 US athletes that failed the drug test. The thing that stood out was that American athletes talked about being against steroids for years. It also talked about alot of other drugs in sports but i didnt read them because I didnt need it

This was not and article but a fact sheet about all the differnt types of steriods. The thing I looked at was stanozolol because that is the drug that Ben Johnson took or failed the drug test on. It told me that the reason runners use it is because allows them to recover faster and increases there strength

I read this and I was all about it life because it is wikipedia and there was some interesting things on there. Like how Bens coach came out and said that all of his athletes have used steroids and that he still doesn't under stand how Johnson tested positive for what he did because Johnson didn’t like the way it made him feel after he took it.
