SHOULD PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS BE ACCEPTED IN SPORT?

The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete's performance is controversial. Those who agree to the use of drugs in enhancing performance say that most yop players in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physioterapists and managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of banning such substances has turned performers and their choaches into liars and cheaters.

O the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned. Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited becuse they violate the spirit of sport, but they can because damage the health of athletes.

I think the idea of allowing them in sports could leadto a situation whereby sportsmen and women are used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances.
