Astrology, Reputation, Sports, Steroids

Has your favorite sport hero been accused of using performance drugs?
Do you believe it? From Tour de France winners to football heroes, we never know when the chosen favorite will quickly fall from a pedestal simply for being accused -- not for being found guilty, which is often difficult, even impossible, to do.
We can look at a person's chart to detect the possibility of steroid or other performance enhancement. Does the Sun sign indicate a person who is, by nature of his/her natal sign disciplined? Is Virgo prominent in the chart and/or at least aligned with a significant planet? Where is Saturn?
In the case of impressive athletes like the United States baseball phenom Ryan Braun, the disciplined Sun sign (last decant Scorpio (ie: Scorpio-Sag cusp) indicates a person with a great deal of discipline, as well as athletic prowess. In Braun's case, Saturn is also in Scorpio, again aligning the individual with discipline and control. Although Scorpios tend to live on the edge and be drawn to dark places, he also has Mars in Virgo, indicating that he cares about his health although Virgo could make him feel critical of his own athletic prowess.
Venus in Libra would bring balance to his character, a desire for justice, for keeping things right. So although it is possible that this particular athlete may have, out of Virgo insecurity, indulged in some kind of body strengthening (possibly testosterone compounds), it is unlikely he would have used steroids, which are destructive to the body, or that he would have partaken in any kind of extended performance enhancing.
Unfortunately, Scorpios can have up and down lives, being loved and then turned on, and then adored again. And in the court of public opinion, we usually judge a person without proof, and the judgment sticks, often labeling a person for life. (Social psychology has proven that if people hear something enough times, whether from media or other people, they'll tend to believe it.)
Astrology is complex, but possible to use to analyze a chart. In this way we can only guess. But realizing that we are all this complex, the analysis might reveal understanding, without judging, before an athlete's, or anyone's, reputation is ruined by repetition of what may well be untrue.
