Peter F. Martin “Destroyed”


Summary:



This essay is about the use of performance enhancing drugs in sports. And the differences of opinions that some people have on what issues are more important. The effects that the drugs is having on sports, or the effects that the drugs have on the players that use them.



Paraphrase:

 The threats posed by performance enhancing drugs on sports are vary real. "They challenge the ideals of sports, passed down to use from the Greeks..." even the concepts we have of modern day sports. In a time before super humans that are the affects of unnatural enhancers started to flood the playing fields. But it is these players, the ones whose health and well being are at stake. They are the really important issue here. More so then the game itself. Which so many fans and other people seem to be focusing there attention on. Charging the ruin of the sport to the vary players who's lives are being so negatively affected by these drugs. Is a game really more important then the players playing it? (Martin, 580-582)

I choose this quote for two main reasons. The first and most important to myself is because I enjoy ancient history.  Secondly because this line gives the readers a sense of just how old the concept of purity in sports is.
