Sports media
Many athletes have gotten into trouble from drug uses, such as steroids. I think that sometimes the media goes to far into the athletes personal life. Although sometimes it is important to tell the people the reason why they are not able to participate in their sport anymore. But when the media wont let it go, they end up getting more information about it and making it a bigger deal that what it actually is. As far as Michael Phelps goes, i feel really bad for him because he has worked so hard and has come along way, and one picture can ruin everything for him. Hopefully the Judge will look past his bad mistake and look at how great of an athlete he is.

So if you believe that the media goes too far in reporting on those in the spotlight...do you think that Phelps would have gone to his coach and said that he wanted to be suspended for taking drugs...or A-Rod would have just given his awards back b/c of his steroids? Perhaps the media is "keeping them honest" in a way...what do you think?
