An interactive soccer game which is available on the site DontBeAnAsterisk.com has been thought out to teach children that steroids are dangerous

The anti-steroid campaign “Don’t Be An Asterisk” was formed to provide people with knowledge about steroid use, about risks linked with performance-enhancing drugs within and outsides sports in order to promote stopping administrating these medicines.
But ”Don’t Be An Asterisk” was in negligence during certain time. The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and Ad Council make the decision to reinvigorate activities of this campaign. It was made a decision to create a new gateway page for the website and to change the name from the “Don’t Be an Asterisk” to the “Play Asterisk Free”.
The new website for “Play Asterisk Free” has links and leads to the original “Don’t Be Asterisk” that has been without any changes for more than 2 years. This site encourages the visitors to visit another new page that is on Facebook. So, they can play asterisk free there. The same page will be created on Twitter with the same name “Play Asterisk Free”. So, the popular social media will promote spreading the messages of the anti-steroid.
The initial site DontBeAnAsterisk.com includes an interactive soccer game. Players have to score goals avoiding the asterisks. The asterisks represent anabolic steroids. If the interactive soccer players don’t avoid the asterisks, they become much more muscular.
Although the game has been created to create the perception among kids that steroids are unsafe, the results are opposite. Kids find it funny to fail avoiding asterisks and to see how muscles of the interactive players become dramatically enhanced. However this game is still available on the website, it is unlikely that it can teach kids that steroids must not be taken.
The principal purpose of this anti-steroid campaign is to convince children that a user of steroids is not a fair individual; he\she is “fake”, a “joke” and a “poser”.
