Alex Rodriguez, Yankees baseball player, suspended for 211 games with other players suspended for “only” 50 games are another sensational case of doping. This fraud continued apparently without the players care about the sanctions that can affect them. They are still convinced of their decision to take drugs. Here are some reasons that continue to motivate them to this choice.
- Desire to accumulate richness – is possible if the performances are exceptional or are perceived as such.
- Willingness to take risks – to make decisions that involve penal risks counting on the low probability of being caught.
- Opportunity to fraud – many other players are doped, it’s a common practice and there are companies that offer products that serve this purpose.
- Awareness that the controls are ineffective – the probability of being condemned is poor and the large law firms are fundamental weapon of defense.
