Slide 7: 

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimates 19.5 million Americans use illicit drugs each month. A study by the National Office of Drug Control Policy, conducted between 1992 and 1998, found that such illegal drug use cost the United States more than $143 billion each year for expenses related to health care, law enforcement, lost productivity and treatment, among other things. Experts estimate that there are between 1 million and 3 million illegal steroid users roaming America's gyms and locker rooms, and that their share of the bill, even using conservative figures, stands at $7.4 billion annually.

Estimated Costs : 

Estimated Costs Healthcare: Estimated cost: $1 billion Productivity: The whole point of taking steroids is to increase productivity. But steroids still inevitably drain resources, especially as they spread beyond the lucrative world of professional athletics. Health consequences generate sick days, for example. Doctors wind up in jail. Or consider that the Yankees will be paying Jason Giambi something like $70 per minute this week while he's missing spring training to testify. Estimated cost: $5 billion Enforcement: This includes the costs of investigating, prosecuting and jailing those involved in a black market estimated to be worth $300 million to $400 million each year. Estimated cost: $1.7 billion

Estimated Costs : 

Estimated Costs Testing: The NCAA says it tests about 10,680 athletes, at a cost of about $271 per test, or about $3 million each year. The Olympic movement budgets about $12.5 million annually for random and in-competition steroid testing. The NFL spends $10 million a year on its testing program. Baseball, which has spent $1.2 million to test its minor-leaguers, just instituted its testing program on the major-league level. Estimated cost: $90 million

Estimated Costs : 

Estimated Costs Congressional Intervention: Estimated cost: $4.5 million. Total Estimated Costs of steroids on society: Total due: $7,794,500,000 Billion Dollars That's a little more than society spends to fight cardiovascular disease in diabetes sufferers, but a good bit less than the estimated $184 billion cost of dealing with alcohol abusers.

Professional Sports & Cheating Mike

How has the use of steroids changed professional sports and the issue of cheating? : 

How has the use of steroids changed professional sports and the issue of cheating? Caused the debate of what caused the accomplishment more the athlete or the substance he or she was on. Caused questions of fairness in sports. Created a new way for athletes to get an advantage over an opponent(s) that is considered unfair. Caused people to question all the athletes performances and legacies in sports forever. Has leaked into every sport and every level of sports played today. Caused testing for this substance and others on a regular basis for most sports today.
