Steroids | Podcast #136
Lance Armstrong was officially stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles this week in the latest steroid scandal. Athletes continue to dope despite the risk of failing a drug test, ruining their reputation, and being kicked out of a sport that they love. Why? Because they want to win at all costs! Should steroids be regulated rather than banned? Are spectators and fans partly to blame? This week’s mini-podcast offers an audio preview of our NEW Discussion Starters lesson plan on Steroids. In the corresponding lesson plan, students complete vocabulary review exercises and comprehension questions based on the reading. We hope this reading sparks a discussion about performance enhancers and cheating.
