What do you think about legalization of doping in sports? Some individuals say that it is time to legalize it. Others are against it. What do you believe?
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports believe that anabolic steroids and other related products represent essential evil. They may cause severe negative effects in consumers. Moreover, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another opinion, intake of anabolic steroids and other doping products should be allowed in sports. Let sportspeople apply whatever they want! If they desire to apply anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they plan to apply other medications, let them do it! If they want to use some preparations, let health care providers assist their usage! Physicians know what their patients should do in order to prevent certain adverse results. So, performance-enhancing drugs will not lead to serious undesirable results. As a result, application of steroids and other related medicines will be relatively safe for health and life of users.
As you know, anabolic steroids and other doping products are currently banned in sports. When sportspersons are suspected and/or found guilty of doping, scandals appear. Such cases are often discussed during TV shows, in magazines, newspapers, on internet, etc. You must know that each scandal commonly 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 claim that sportspersons increase performance unnaturally with the help of steroids and other related drugs. Speaking about enhancement of physical performance, you should not forget about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive skills, improvement of health, etc. Why do we administer some medicines and supplements, improving our health and life, while blaming sportspersons who try to promote performance with anabolic steroids and other doping products? Isn’t it hypocrisy? You would notice that steroids and certain other doping products lead to health problems. Yes, it is true. But what do you think about usage of caffeine and nicotine? They are accepted in the society. But it is necessary to notice that caffeine and nicotine result in more serious health troubles than anabolic steroids and other related medications. Nonetheless, users of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly blamed, as consumers of steroids.
Anti-doping agencies believe that they will soon eliminate doping from sports. “Sports will be clean”, - they exclaim. But it is needed to realize that doping will be never eradicated from sports. Anti-doping officers will not be ever able to do it. While they introduce new tests and enhance punishment for intake of prohibited substances, athletes find new ways to avoid detection. Thus, everyone should comprehend that this “game” will never end, if doping is not legalized in sports.
