Certain performance-enhancing procedures are permitted in sports


The reporter Dan Le Batard notices that it is necessary to think over our attitude to doping. Do we evaluate different athletes the same way? Do we accept application of anabolic steroids and other related remedies by sportspersons? What is our real attitude towards sportspersons that utilize anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs/procedures? Do we express admiration of those that have success in sports because of steroids and other related remedies?
Sometimes the society is responsible for doping of sportspersons. The society should be blamed for abnormal actions of sportspersons. The society admires of abnormal things that occur in the world of sports. The society praises those that have ligaments taken from cadavers. The society praises athletes that are involved in various abnormal actions: playing football with catheter, cutting fingers off, etc. Sportspersons do a lot to be prominent. They submit to different procedures which are not needed for their health. Moreover, they use such drugs and procedures that ruin their health. Why do they do such things? The answer is obvious: they want to be praised; they desire to become famous. Thus, they do it in the name of physical performance. While athletes use remedies that result in serious harm in them, we support their actions through our admiration, awards, money, etc.
In fact, the society is full of hypocrisy. While we are used to demonize steroids and certain other banned medicines, we don’t condemn athletes that utilize different procedures for increase of their physical performance. While we blame several dopers, we praise others. Why are certain drugs and procedures banned for increase of performance, while others are permitted? Let be reasonable! If you blame anabolic steroids, don’t support those that apply alternatives to these substances that are also capable to promote physical performance. If you desire to see natural talents of athletes, don’t support those that submit to different procedures for increase of physical performance! Before you blame or admire someone/something, think over this aspect! Don’t hurry and be honest!
