It is not necessary to subject sportspersons to tests for performance-enhancing substances. A lot of cases show that tests for forbidden medications are not effective. Moreover, it is important to realize that application of tests by anti-doping agencies is not logical at Olympics. The main goal of Olympic sportspersons is following: to become faster, stronger and to be at the top level. Thus, why should you keep sportspersons far from medications which could help them to reach this result?
As you know, anabolic steroids and other related medications enhance performance. So, sportspeople should be allowed to administer these remedies in order to enhance physical performance.
Many individuals argue that 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 products make competitions unfair. A lot of sportspersons administer performance-enhancing drugs while avoiding detection. So, some sportspersons administer steroids; others don’t violate anti-doping laws. As a result, dopers have unfair advantage over non-dopers. It’s unfair. Let all sportspersons have similar access to performance-enhancing drugs. Thus, competitions will be fairer.
But discussing unfairness in sports, you should remember about other aspects that have more essential influence of fairness/unfairness than anabolic steroids and other related medicines. Several athletes live in developed countries; others are in less developed countries. Several sportspersons have money to buy needed equipment; others can’t afford it. Certain countries can sponsor athletes, trainers, sport physicians and managers; others are not capable to do it. Thus, unfairness should be discussed here.
Olympic sportspersons spend much time while training. They sacrifice time, money, etc. That’s why it is illogical to suspend those that are caught taking anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
While athletes are sentenced to suspensions for usage of steroids and several other chemical substances, they are never banned for usage of herbs and certain potions. It is claimed that steroids and other chemical substances are banned in sports because they can boost physical performance. But what is for herbs and potions? They are also capable to increase strength. Nevertheless, these remedies are not banned in sports. Chinese athletes use herbal remedies and win.
Of course, you may claim that anabolic steroids and certain other drugs may lead to severe adverse reactions. Undoubtedly, some banned products may cause serious health problems. But those who plan to administer these drugs do own research. They are aware of possible dangers. Let sportspersons decide whether it is worthy to administer such preparations. If they are ready to ruin health, let them do it because they are masters upon own bodies.
