The media is interested just in steroid stories

Georges Laraque described his life in a book “The story of the NHL’s unlikeliest tough guy”. He wanted to share his biography with others. Georges Laraque mentioned also about intake of anabolic steroids in the National Hockey League (NHL). These aspects about steroids use by the NHL’s players seemed to be very interesting. The Canadian press published only the quotes connected with this eternal subject. The rest of the book was neglected.
Georges Laraque told in an interview that he had never taken performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, the author noted that he hadn’t mentioned any names of the sportsmen that had taken steroids. The book is indeed about life of the author.
The author describes several ways to determine whether a hockey player uses steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs or not. Here are 2 ways noticed by him:
1. A hockey player who gains more than 40 pounds in a short period of time must be taking steroids.
2. A hockey player that reduces his weight significantly in short period of time in order to correspond to the rules of the Winter Olympics must be utilizing performance-enhancing drugs.
Of course, all sportspersons, including hockey players, know that they will be tested for steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs by the World Anti-Doping Agency. That’s why they stop administrating the banned preparations certain time before the Olympics. It helps them to avoid probability of testing positive for these medicines.
But this is not the chief idea of the book. The author desired to display that a child is required to put incredible efforts to become a celebrated professional sportsman in spite of racism and reviling. But the media is not interested in this aspect. The press wants to publish stories related to intake of steroids by celebrated sportspersons.
It was not the purpose of the author to name the hockey players that utilized steroids.
Undoubtedly, the media tries to convince George Laraque to mention the names of the NHL’s players that use steroids.
