I am a student at UW Bothell and I love baseball.

Possible articles to research
Performance-enhancing drugs

This article would be a great selection for my topic because it is my topic. The page itself is good, but can be improved by adding additional sections. I could improve this article in several ways including, adding more interesting facts about PEDs in effort to give the reader more general information, provide the history/origin of PEDs, or a combination of the two. I don't think the history is represented at all on this page and I think it should.

World Anti-Doping Agency This article would also be a great selection for my topic because I could discuss WADA's involvement in US sports such as football or baseball. The article itself is well written and is well known in my discipline. I'm sure there's some interesting facts I can at least add to the page. It definitely could be improved.

Superhuman This article would be a great one to edit because I could discuss this idea of superhuman in terms of performance enhancing drugs in that people may want to watch sports played by "superhumans" as opposed to humans with "normal" attributes. This article is weak in terms of what I just discussed and I think this should be added in a section that discusses that aspect of a superhuman.

Origination of PEDs As I've searched on Wikipedia, there have been no articles or even sections of articles that deal with the history/origination of PEDs. I could generate an article that deals with this. I'm positive I can find a lot of information about that, but there's no good representation here on Wikipedia so this would be a great place to start.

Cold War I know this one is probably going to be a lot harder to edit, but in the cold war, Russian scientists used anabolic steroids and other types of potential PEDs in efforts to create a super soldier. So I was thinking I could maybe add or create an additional section that explains the use of PEDs by the Russians and how that could lead to one of the earlier cases of known PED use.
