What do you believe about legalization of doping in sports? Some individuals believe that it is time to legalize it. Others don’t agree. What is your opinion?
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports think that steroids and other related drugs represent significant evil. They may cause severe negative reactions in users. Furthermore, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another opinion, application of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs should be permitted in sports. Let sportspersons use whatever they want! If they want to administer anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they intend to use other medicines, let them do it! If they want to administer some medications, let doctors monitor their intake! Doctors know what their patients should do in order to prevent certain undesirable results. So, performance-enhancing drugs will not lead to severe undesirable reactions. As a result, administration of anabolic steroids and other related medications will be relatively safe for health and life of users.
As you know, anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are currently forbidden in sports. When athletes are suspected and/or found guilty of doping, scandals appear. Such situations are often discussed during TV shows, in magazines, newspapers, on internet, etc. You must know that every scandal usually contains not only truth but also gossips, exaggerations, etc. As a result, you can’t be sure whether some affirmations are true or not.
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports claim that sportspersons enhance performance unnaturally with the help of anabolic steroids and other related products. Speaking about enhancement of athletic performance, you should not forget about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive abilities, improvement of health, etc. Why do we use several products and supplements, improving our health and life, while demonizing athletes who try to promote performance with steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs? Is it fairly? You would note that anabolic steroids and some other performance-enhancing drugs lead to health problems. Yes, it is true. But what do you think about usage of caffeine and nicotine? They are accepted in the society. But it is important to note that caffeine and nicotine result in more serious health troubles than anabolic steroids and other related remedies. Nevertheless, consumers of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly blamed, as consumers of steroids.
Anti-doping agencies think that they will soon eradicate doping from sports. “Competitions will be fair”, - they exclaim. But it is important to acknowledge that doping will be never eliminated from sports. Anti-doping officials will not be ever able to do it. While they elaborate new methods of detection and increase sanctions for administration of prohibited substances, sportspersons find new ways to avoid detection. So, everyone should understand that this “game” will never end, if doping is not allowed in sports.
