What do you think about legalization of doping in sports? Certain persons claim that it is time to legalize it. Others don’t agree. What is your point of view?
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports believe that steroids and other related products represent essential evil. They may cause serious negative results in consumers. Furthermore, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another opinion, administration of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs should be allowed in sports. Let sportspeople take whatever they desire! If they desire to administer anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they plan to apply other products, let them do it! If they want to use certain preparations, let physicians manage their usage! Doctors know what their patients should do in order to prevent certain unwanted reactions. So, doping products will not lead to grave adverse reactions. As a result, usage of anabolic steroids and other related medications will be relatively safe for health and life of consumers.
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 widely discussed during TV shows, in magazines, newspapers, on internet, etc. You must know that each scandal usually contains not only truth but also gossips, exaggerations, etc. As a result, you can’t be sure whether certain affirmations are true or not.
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports say that athletes increase performance unnaturally with the help of anabolic steroids and other related medicines. Speaking about enhancement of physical performance, you should remember about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive skills, improvement of health, etc. Why do we use some products and supplements, improving our health and life, while demonizing athletes that try to promote performance with steroids and other doping products? Is it fairly? You would notice that steroids and some other doping products lead to health problems. Yes, it is true. But what do you consider about usage of caffeine and nicotine? They are accepted in the society. But it is important to note that caffeine and nicotine cause more serious health problems than steroids and other related medications. Nonetheless, users of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly demonized, as users 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 acknowledge that doping will be never eradicated from sports. Anti-doping officials will not be ever able to do it. While they elaborate new tests and enhance punishment for usage of banned substances, athletes find new ways to avoid detection. Thus, everyone should comprehend that this conflict will never end, if doping is not allowed in sports.
