It is not necessary to subject athletes to tests for performance-enhancing substances. Numerous cases display that tests for forbidden preparations aren’t effective. Furthermore, it is important to realize that application of tests by anti-doping officers is not logical at Olympics. The chief goal of Olympic sportspersons is following: to become faster, stronger and to be at the top level. Thus, why should you keep athletes far from medications which could help them to reach this result?
As you know, anabolic-androgenic steroids and other related preparations boost performance. So, sportspersons should be allowed to take these remedies in order to increase physical performance.
A lot of persons argue that anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs make competitions unfair. Is this opinion true? No, it wrong. You should recognize that tests for steroids and other related preparations make competitions unfair. Many sportspersons use performance-enhancing drugs while avoiding detection. So, some athletes take anabolic steroids; others don’t violate anti-doping rules. As a result, dopers have unfair advantage over non-dopers. It’s unfair. Let all sportspersons have similar access to performance-enhancing drugs. Thus, competitions will be fairer.
But discussing unfairness in sports, you should remember about other aspects that have more serious influence of fairness/unfairness than anabolic steroids and other related medicines. Certain athletes live in developed countries; others are in less developed countries. Certain athletes have money to buy necessary equipment; others can’t afford it. Certain countries can sponsor sportspeople, trainers, sport doctors and managers; others are not able to do it. So, unfairness should be discussed here.
Olympic athletes spend much time while training. They sacrifice time, money, etc. That’s why it is illogical to ban those who are caught using anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
While athletes are sentenced to bans for intake of steroids and several other chemical substances, they are never suspended for usage of herbs and certain potions. It is claimed that steroids and other chemical substances are banned in sports because they can increase physical performance. But what is for herbs and potions? They are also capable to enhance strength. Nevertheless, these remedies are not forbidden in sports. Chinese athletes use herbal remedies and win.
Of course, you may claim that steroids and certain other drugs may result in serious adverse effects. Undoubtedly, several banned medications may cause serious health problems. But those that intend to administer these medicines do own research. They know about probable risks. Let athletes decide whether it is worthy to use such products. If they are ready to worsen health, let them do it because they should manage own bodies.
