Would anyone want to openly admit to using performance enhancing drugs if they weren’t forced to? Probably not, this is why the interview sector for my paper is probably going to be difficult, but at the same time simple to obtain. In this type of society the best answers don’t come from interviews and press conferences, they come from actions. Who I would be interested in interviewing (but would be impossible), is Barry Bonds, Deuce McAllister, Jose Canseco, and the CEO of a pharmaceutical company in Alabama who was the architect of a $3.1 million dollar steroid ring, if I am not mistaken. Questions that I would like to be answered are not complex at all, the simply state: Why? And through that all my other curiosities would be fulfilled. Each interview would add to my thesis. On top of seeing what users think, I would like to get a legal perspective on the matter, which would prove as a counter to what the athletes would say. In addition to the interview, I believe I have a solid topic, but I don’t know a typical stereotype for what I want to discuss, does anyone have a stereotype that contains anything about athletes, and performance enhancers? On top of that, the way i would go about interviewing these multi million dollar star personnel would be researching interviews that ask the same questions or similar ones that i would want to ask. But I dont want to empasize only steriods as performance enhancers, i want to add all the other types such as HGH, and deca, as well as supplements that are deemed to be on the verge as performance enhancers such as creatine monohydrate. In this sense i could use personal experience because I have used supplements before and could be a viable source in saying how different supplements have helped me or even lagged my performance. All in all, i believe the interviews will be my weakest sources in the sense that they wont be done one on one, but strongest because they are a first hand account of what goes on behind the scenes.

I think that those are really solid choices of people to interview. It would be really interesting to hear what they had to say if they were completely honest because chances are that they are going to lie and not tell the truth. It is hard to believe that people like that were caught up in such a high stakes sterioid ring. I don’t really have a good stereotype but just an idea would be to talk about how they are all looked up to. That may not be true. I don’t know it is just an idea and probably not a good one.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great idea to interview a player from the FSU baseball Team as well. I know someone who plays baseball for FSU so if you would like to interview someone who plays baseball and their perspective on steroids, I can see if he wouldn’t mind doing the interview. I think it would be interesting to find out how potential future MLB players feel about the finding out the best players in the league have been using performance enhancements, they think this will influence the future and quality of the MLB, and how the league can keep players from using these substances and how the league’s image can be rebuilt.
