Baseball America has a good article on steroids in baseball.
From the article: When major leaguers believe they must use steroids to prosper or compete in the big leagues, it sets off a chain reaction. Minor leaguers then see it as a necessity. A farmhand who is struggling will view steroids as his means to hit the ball another 30 feet, or add a few miles an hour to his fastball. The trickle-down effect continues to college and high school, where players view steroids as not just a means to gain an advantage, but a necessity to remain competitive. It is a wicked chain destined to lead to serious damage to the sport, and to the lives of many of the participants. Fans may complain that steroids inflate statistics, but that is only a fraction of the damage.
