It is not necessary to subject athletes to tests for doping substances. Many cases show that tests for prohibited medications are not efficacious. In addition to this factor, it is important to realize that application of tests by anti-doping officers is illogical at Olympics. The main purpose of Olympic sportspersons is following: to become faster, stronger and to be at the top level. Thus, why should you keep sportspeople far from drugs that could help them to achieve this result?
As you know, steroids and other related preparations boost performance. Thus, athletes should be allowed to use these remedies in order to increase physical performance.
A lot of individuals say that steroids and other doping products make competitions unfair. Is this point of view true? No, it wrong. You should comprehend that tests for anabolic steroids and other related preparations make competitions unfair. Many athletes apply doping products while avoiding detection. So, some sportspersons apply anabolic 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 which have more significant impact of fairness/unfairness than anabolic steroids and other related medicines. Several sportspersons live in developed countries; others are in less developed countries. Certain sportspersons have money to purchase necessary equipment; others can’t afford it. Some countries can sponsor sportspersons, coaches, sport physicians and managers; others are not able to do it. Thus, unfairness should be discussed here.
Olympic athletes spend much time while training. They sacrifice time, money, etc. That’s why it is illogical to disqualify those who are caught using anabolic steroids and other doping products.
While sportspeople are sentenced to bans for application of steroids and several other chemical substances, they are never banned for usage of herbs and certain potions. It is stated that anabolic steroids and other chemical substances are suspended in sports because they can increase physical performance. But what is for herbs and potions? They are also capable to increase energy. Nevertheless, these remedies are not banned in sports. Chinese athletes use herbal remedies and win.
Of course, you may argue that anabolic steroids and certain other preparations may lead to grave adverse consequences. Undoubtedly, certain banned products may cause serious health troubles. But those that plan to use these medications do own research. They are aware of possible risks. Let sportspersons decide whether it is worthy to take such drugs. If they are ready to ruin health, let them do it because they are masters upon own bodies.
