It is not needed to subject athletes to tests for doping substances. Many cases show that tests for prohibited drugs are not efficient. Moreover, it is important to comprehend that application of tests by anti-doping agencies is illogical at Olympics. The main purpose of Olympic sportspersons is following: to become faster, stronger and to be at the top level. So, why should you keep sportspersons far from medicines which could help them to achieve this result?
As you know, steroids and other related medications enhance performance. So, sportspersons should be allowed to administer these remedies in order to increase physical performance.
Many persons argue that steroids and other doping products make competitions unfair. Is this opinion true? No, it wrong. You should realize that tests for anabolic steroids and other related products make competitions unfair. Numerous athletes take performance-enhancing drugs while avoiding detection. So, some athletes take steroids; others don’t break anti-doping rules. As a result, dopers have unfair advantage over non-dopers. It’s unfair. Let all athletes have similar access to performance-enhancing drugs. Thus, competitions will be fairer.
But debating about unfairness in sports, you should not forget about other aspects that have more significant influence of fairness/unfairness than steroids and other related medicines. Several athletes live in developed countries; others are in less developed countries. Certain sportspersons have money to purchase needed equipment; others can’t afford it. Some countries can sponsor sportspersons, coaches, sport doctors and managers; others are not capable to do it. Thus, unfairness should be noticed here.
Olympic sportspersons spend much time while training. They sacrifice time, money, etc. That’s why it is illogical to suspend those who are caught taking steroids and other doping products.
While athletes are sentenced to suspensions for administration of steroids and some other chemical substances, they are never suspended for usage of herbs and certain potions. It is stated that steroids and other chemical substances are banned in sports because they can increase athletic performance. But what is for herbs and potions? They are also capable to add strength. Nevertheless, these remedies are not prohibited in sports. Chinese athletes take herbal remedies and win.
Of course, you may argue that anabolic steroids and certain other medicines may result in severe adverse consequences. Undoubtedly, several banned preparations may cause serious health troubles. But those who intend to use these medications do own research. They know about probable dangers. Let sportspersons decide whether it is worthy to apply such preparations. If they are ready to ruin health, let them do it because they are masters upon own bodies.
