It is not necessary to subject athletes to tests for doping substances. A lot of cases show that tests for prohibited medications aren’t effective. Moreover, it is important to understand that application of tests by anti-doping agencies is illogical at Olympics. The main goal of Olympic sportspersons is following: to become faster, stronger and to be at the highest level. So, why should you keep sportspersons far from preparations which could help them to achieve this result?
As you know, anabolic steroids and other related preparations boost performance. So, athletes should be allowed to take these remedies in order to boost physical performance.
Many persons claim that anabolic steroids and other doping products make competitions unfair. Is this opinion true? No, it wrong. You should recognize that tests for anabolic steroids and other related medications make competitions unfair. Many athletes apply doping products while avoiding detection. Thus, some sportspersons apply steroids; others don’t violate anti-doping rules. As a result, consumers of performance-enhancing drugs have unfair advantage over non-dopers. It’s unfair. Let all sportspersons have similar access to doping products. Thus, competitions will be fairer.
But discussing unfairness in sports, you should not forget about other aspects which have more significant impact of fairness/unfairness than anabolic steroids and other related products. Some sportspersons live in developed countries; others are in less developed countries. Certain sportspersons have money to purchase needed equipment; others can’t afford it. Certain countries can sponsor sportspeople, trainers, sport doctors and managers; others are not able to do it. Thus, unfairness should be noticed here.
Olympic athletes spend much time while training. They sacrifice time, money, etc. That’s why it is illogical to disqualify those that are caught taking steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
While sportspersons are sentenced to suspensions for intake of steroids and some other chemical substances, they are never banned for usage of herbs and certain potions. It is stated that steroids and other chemical substances are suspended in sports because they can boost athletic performance. But what is for herbs and potions? They are also able to increase strength. Nevertheless, these remedies are not forbidden in sports. Chinese athletes take herbal remedies and win.
Of course, you may argue that anabolic steroids and certain other medicines may result in serious side consequences. Undoubtedly, some prohibited drugs may cause serious health troubles. But those who plan to use these products do own research. They are aware of possible dangers. Let athletes decide whether it is worthy to administer such preparations. If they are ready to ruin health, let them do it because they should manage own bodies.
