- What do you think about
athletes taking legal drugs? What about taking illegal
drugs?
- Do athletes in other
countries take these drugs or does this occur only in
Chicago?
- Do these drugs make athletes
better? If some athletes take drugs, then do they have
unfair advantages over athletes who abstain?
- Do you think the issue of
athletes taking legal and illegal drugs is important? Why
or why not?
Projects
- Talk to people around campus
and find out how they feel about drugs and athletes.
Compare the ideas expressed by athletes, coaches,
trainers with the ideas expressed by non-athletic people.
- Survey or informally
interview medical students, doctors, pharmacists, people
in gyms, and health care workers to find out what they
think about steroids and athletes. Present your findings
to the class.
- Go to a pharmacy or health
food store and look for drugs/vitamins/eenhancements that
contain steroids. Ask the workers there which products
are most popular with athletes.
