Most of you don’t even know how Milovan Rakovic is and how he became the Euroleague MVP and the second round pick on NBA Draft just few years ago? Do you know how he achieved that? In his desiring to become a super athlete
, she started to use some illegal substances which improved his ability to jump, posting, boxing up and run fast like nobody before him had. After this

discovery many of athletes started to use these substances, today known as steroids. Some of them achieved their goals, some of them were exposed, but some of them died using these powerful but in the same time fatal sub
stances for their lives. Steroids shouldn’t be used in sports.
My goal of writing this blog is to inform people how that became the normal part not just of European Basketball, but the part of almost all other sports all around the world. Today some athletes will do anything to become famous like Milovan Rakovic even if that is harmf
ul for them. Why cheaters are today’s idols of some people? They shouldn’t be. Can you think about a feeling when you find out that your "idols" that were making you happy with their great skills, actually cheated? They did not cheat just themselves, they also cheated the people that believed in them, including their nations. Today in Serbia where is Milovan Rakovic from almost all true basketball fans are embarrassed of what he did not just to himself, but also

to his own country and basketball fans all around the world.
Today steroids are killing sports around the world and the question is “Why are people allowing this misdemeanor?” Why do some countries have privileges to sign a contract which doesn’t allow doping control of their athletes? When I say this I think of an American basketball team, known as “Dream Team”, and American swimmers. For me it is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies. I know that for example “The Dream Team” is made of the best 12 NBA players who have 8 preseason, 84 regular season games plus 32 possible playoff games, I know how tired they are after every season, but why they have a privilege over European basketball players who have almost same amounts of games every single year. In my opinion if let this team no to get tested before the Olympics will send wrong message to other athletes who will probably think that there is a whole in this system and that will encourage them to start using steroids in order to achieve success that Dream Team achieved in the past.
If we continue to fight against this crime we will have a chance to give everyone chances to compete with others on a fair way, how they all deserve. Sports could be more interesting and more exciting for everybody. We would enjoy watching every game, knowing that everyone is competing on a fair plain, where there are no circumstances in which any player can try to illegally make himself or herself better than his or her fellow competitors.
