Topic Proposal for Policy Paper

I will be writing a policy paper about why laws and regulations should be in place so that steroids are allowed in the medical field to those in need of them, yet are strictly banned and distanced from athletes and those wishing to physically benefit from them to gain an advantage. In order to support this claim, I will need more sources. I have a sufficient amount of information on the drug and some current policies, but I will need more opinion pieces from those supporting this viewpoint and why they too believe it is the correct policy.

Joe, it seems you will have to split your argument into two parts: why it is good and safe to use steroids for medical purposes and why it is neither good nor safe to use them in sports. Since there is already an anti-steroid policy in place, you will need to address why you want to keep it or perhaps make it stricter: are there people arguing otherwise?

I think this is a good point because steroids are used very commonly in the medical field and i agree that they should not be allowed in sports though
