Application of performance-enhancing drugs and procedures by athletes

Dan Le Batard, a newspaper sportswriter, notes that it is needed to think over our attitude to doping. Do we evaluate various sportspersons the same way? Do we accept administration of steroids and other related drugs by sportspersons? What is our real attitude to athletes that use steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs/procedures? Do we express admiration of those that are successful in sports due to anabolic steroids and other related remedies?
Sometimes the society is guilty for doping of sportspersons. The society should be blamed for abnormal actions of sportspersons. The society praises abnormal things that occur in sports. The society expresses admiration of those that have ligaments removed from cadavers. The society admires of athletes that are involved in various abnormal actions: competing with catheter, cutting fingers off, etc. Athletes do a lot in order to become famous. They submit to different procedures that are not needed for their life. Furthermore, they apply such drugs and procedures which cause various health problems in them. Why do they do such things? The answer is evident: they want to hear words of admiration; they desire to be celebrated. So, they do it in the name of athletic performance. While sportspersons use remedies which cause essential harm in them, we support their behavior through our praise, awards, money, etc.
In fact, the society is hypocritical. While we are used to blame anabolic steroids and some other prohibited drugs, we don’t condemn athletes that use various procedures for enhancement of their athletic performance. While we demonize some dopers, we admire of others. Why are some preparations and procedures forbidden for increase of performance, while others are permitted? Let be honest! If you blame anabolic steroids, don’t support those who use alternatives to these preparations that can also promote physical performance. If you desire to see natural talents of athletes, don’t support those that submit to different procedures for enhancement of athletic performance! Before you demonize or praise someone/something, ponder over this aspect! Don’t hurry and be honest!
