It is not needed to subject sportspeople to tests for performance-enhancing substances. Numerous cases display that tests for forbidden drugs aren’t efficacious. In addition to this factor, it is important to realize that application of tests by anti-doping officers is illogical at Olympics. The main purpose of Olympic sportspersons is following: to become faster, stronger and to be at the highest level. So, why should you keep athletes far from medications that could help them to reach this result?
As you know, anabolic steroids and other related medicines increase performance. So, sportspersons should be allowed to take these remedies in order to enhance physical performance.
Many persons claim that anabolic steroids and other doping products make competitions unfair. Is this point of view true? No, it wrong. You should realize that tests for anabolic steroids and other related drugs make competitions unfair. Many sportspersons apply doping products while avoiding detection. Thus, several athletes apply anabolic steroids; others don’t break anti-doping laws. As a result, users of doping products have unfair advantage over non-dopers. It’s unfair. Let all athletes have similar access to doping products. Thus, competitions will be fairer.
But debating about unfairness in sports, you should remember about other conditions which have more serious impact of fairness/unfairness than anabolic steroids and other related drugs. Certain sportspersons live in developed countries; others are in less developed countries. Some sportspersons have money to get necessary equipment; others can’t afford it. Several countries can sponsor athletes, coaches, sport doctors and managers; others are not able to do it. So, unfairness should be discussed here.
Olympic athletes spend much time while training. They sacrifice time, money, etc. That’s why it is illogical to suspend those who are caught administering anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
While athletes are sentenced to suspensions for usage of anabolic steroids and some other chemical substances, they are never banned for application of herbs and certain potions. It is claimed that steroids and other chemical substances are banned in sports because they can enhance athletic performance. But what is for herbs and potions? They are also able to add strength. Nevertheless, these remedies are not prohibited in sports. Chinese sportspersons use herbal remedies and win.
Of course, you may argue that anabolic steroids and certain other products may lead to severe negative reactions. Undoubtedly, certain forbidden products may cause serious health problems. But those that plan to administer these medicines do own research. They are aware of probable dangers. Let athletes decide whether it is worthy to apply such drugs. If they are ready to ruin health, let them do it because they are masters upon own bodies.
