What do you think about legalization of doping in sports? Several individuals believe 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 steroids and other related medications represent essential evil. They may cause severe unwanted results in consumers. Furthermore, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another opinion, application of anabolic steroids and other doping products should be allowed in sports. Let sportspeople apply whatever they desire! If they desire to administer anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they plan to take other preparations, let them do it! If they desire to administer several medications, let doctors manage their intake! Physicians know what their patients should do in order to prevent several negative effects. So, performance-enhancing drugs will not lead to serious undesirable consequences. As a result, intake of steroids and other related medicines 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 cases are often discussed during TV shows, in magazines, newspapers, on internet, etc. You must know that every scandal usually contains not only truth but also gossips, exaggerations, etc. As a result, you can’t assure whether certain affirmations are true or not.
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports say that sportspersons enhance performance unnaturally with the help of steroids and other related drugs. Discussing about enhancement of physical performance, you should not forget about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive skills, improvement of health, etc. Why do we apply certain drugs and supplements, improving our health and life, while demonizing sportspersons who try to promote performance with steroids and other doping products? Isn’t it hypocrisy? You would notice that anabolic steroids and some other doping products cause health problems. Yes, it is true. But what do you consider about usage of caffeine and nicotine? They are accepted in the society. But it is necessary to notice that caffeine and nicotine lead to more severe health problems than anabolic steroids and other related medications. Nevertheless, users of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly demonized, as consumers 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 eliminated from sports. Anti-doping officers will not be ever able to do it. While they introduce new methods of detection and increase penalties for intake of banned substances, sportspersons find new ways to avoid detection. So, anyone should understand that this “game” will never end, if doping is not legalized in sports.
