SHOULD PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS BE ALLOWED IN SPORTS?
I disagree with drugs being accepted in sports. My reasons are; the unfair benefits on those who are under the influence of drugs, harmful effects (some permanent other long-lasting) on their health and well-being, and it may also encourage younger audiences to use illegal substances.
It is unethical for sportsmen or woman who are not under the impact of the drugs rivalled to those who are under the use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout the competition. Remedies such as steroids found in testing of athletes can increase your muscle mass and strength. The unfairness of the illicit drugs has been shown through when Valerie Adams came second place in Olympic shotput because of her opponent using performance-enhancing drugs.
Olympic competitors and other elite sportsmen and women are earning up to tens of millions of dollars a year - even per event. Most athletes of this level earn their success through sheer determination and working their way up the ranks through talent and skill. Whereas athletes who take steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, they gain the aid of their illegal supplements to carry them through the ranks and get further along the lines of competitions. It is unfair to those who need not take illegal performance-enhancing drugs to succeed in a sport and put against those who have taken the drugs.
Supposedly, there may be some advantages to introducing similar kinds of drugs to your system, but there are also downfalls such as the consequences on your health and well-being. These effects consist of severe acne and oily hair and skin, heart disease, liver disease, and altered moods -easier irritability, increased aggression, depression or suicidal tendencies-.
With the allowance of these prohibited drugs in sports being allowed, it may influence the audience to experiment with other drugs. For example, younger teenagers may think it is permitted to use drugs because their parents or other influencers they know are using them legally.
They should not allow drugs in sports due to the unfair advantages on those who take part in sports without the side effects of performance-enhancing drugs.
