What is your opinion linked with legalization of doping in sports? Certain persons say that it is time to legalize it. Others don’t agree. What do you believe?
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports claim that steroids and other related preparations represent significant evil. They may cause serious negative effects in consumers. Moreover, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another point of view, application of anabolic steroids and other doping products should be allowed in sports. Let sportspersons use whatever they desire! If they desire to administer anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they plan to use other preparations, let them do it! If they desire to use some preparations, let physicians supervise their administration! Doctors know what their patients should do in order to avoid certain undesirable reactions. Thus, doping products will not lead to severe negative consequences. As a result, intake of anabolic steroids and other related preparations will be relatively safe for health and life of consumers.
As you know, steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are currently banned in sports. When athletes are suspected and/or found guilty of doping, scandals appear. Such cases 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 be sure whether some affirmations are true or not.
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports believe that sportspersons increase performance unnaturally with the help of anabolic steroids and other related products. Speaking about enhancement of athletic performance, you should remember about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive skills, improvement of health, etc. Why do we administer several medications and supplements, improving our health and life, while demonizing athletes who try to promote performance with steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs? Isn’t it hypocrisy? You would note that steroids and certain other doping products cause 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 cause more severe health troubles 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 eradicate doping from sports. “Competitions will be fair”, - they exclaim. But it is necessary to acknowledge that doping will be never eradicated from sports. Anti-doping officials will not be ever capable to do it. While they elaborate new tests and enhance punishment for intake of banned substances, sportspersons find new ways to avoid detection. Thus, everyone should understand that this “game” will never end, if doping is not legalized in sports.
