Athletes and the Media Adam Pitt The negative effects media on athletes is that all their problems that are spread around the world. So when the athlete and makes small mistake the media over exaggerates that mistake to make it like a huge problem and every one hears about it. So when the athlete does something like drugs and the media knows everyone else will know. This also spreads to their personal life. Also lies about the athlete also get into the media which can get them into trouble. Such as when Michel Phelps photograph appeared on the cover of the British tabloid in which the Olympic swimming star is shown smoking from a bong.
