What do you think about legalization of doping in sports? Several persons believe that it is time to legalize it. Others don’t agree. What do you believe?
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports think that steroids and other related preparations represent significant evil. They may cause serious adverse results in users. Moreover, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another point of view, administration of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs should be allowed in sports. Let sportspersons administer whatever they want! If they want to administer anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they intend to take other medications, let them do it! If they desire to administer certain medicines, let health care providers manage their application! Health care providers know what their patients should do in order to prevent certain unwanted results. Thus, doping products will not lead to serious unwanted consequences. As a result, intake of steroids and other related medicines will be relatively safe for health and life of consumers.
As you know, steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are currently banned in sports. When athletes are suspected and/or found guilty of doping, scandals appear. Such cases are frequently 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 assure whether several affirmations are true or not.
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports believe that sportspersons enhance performance unnaturally with the help of anabolic steroids and other related preparations. Discussing about enhancement of physical performance, you should not forget about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive abilities, improvement of health, etc. Why do we take some products and supplements, improving our health and life, while blaming athletes that try to promote performance with anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs? Isn’t it hypocrisy? You would notice that steroids and some other performance-enhancing drugs cause 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 necessary to note that caffeine and nicotine lead to more severe health troubles than steroids and other related preparations. Nonetheless, users of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly criticized, as consumers of steroids.
Anti-doping agencies hope that they will soon eliminate doping from sports. “Sports will be clean”, - they exclaim. But it is needed to realize that doping will be never eradicated from sports. Anti-doping officers will not be ever capable to do it. While they elaborate new methods of detection and increase penalties for intake of banned substances, athletes find new ways to avoid detection. Thus, anyone should understand that this “game” will never end, if doping is not permitted in sports.
