What do you believe about legalization of doping in sports? Some individuals say that it is time to legalize it. Others don’t agree. What do you think?
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports believe that anabolic steroids and other related medications represent essential evil. They may cause serious undesirable results in consumers. Moreover, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another point of view, administration of steroids and other doping products should be permitted in sports. Let sportspeople take whatever they desire! If they desire to take anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they intend to apply other preparations, let them do it! If they desire to apply certain drugs, let doctors supervise their application! Doctors know what their patients should do in order to avoid certain negative reactions. Thus, performance-enhancing drugs will not lead to grave undesirable reactions. As a result, application of steroids and other related preparations will be relatively safe for health and life of users.
As you know, steroids and other doping products are currently prohibited in sports. When sportspersons 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 commonly contains not only truth but also gossips, exaggerations, etc. As a result, you can’t assure whether some affirmations are true or not.
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports claim that athletes enhance performance unnaturally with the help of steroids and other related medications. Discussing about enhancement of athletic performance, you should remember about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive skills, improvement of health, etc. Why do we use certain medicines and supplements, improving our health and life, while blaming athletes who try to promote performance with steroids and other doping products? Is it fairly? You would notice that steroids and several 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 note that caffeine and nicotine result in more serious health problems than anabolic steroids and other related medications. Nonetheless, consumers 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 realize that doping will be never eliminated from sports. Anti-doping officers will not be ever able to do it. While they introduce new methods of detection and enhance punishment for application of forbidden substances, sportspersons find new ways to avoid detection. Thus, anyone should understand that this conflict will never end, if doping is not permitted in sports.
