If Performance Enhancing Drugs Were Allowed in Sports
Health Risk
It is the athletes choice to make if they want to face negative side affects from the steroids.

and can't do to their bodies
"Performance enhancers, like steroids and other forms of doping, have a negative effect on long-term health."
Athletes become so strong, competition itself becomes dangerous
Serious Injuries Occur
Athletes Become Bigger Faster Stronger
Competition Level Increases
More Spectators become involved
which means more revenue.
Athletes always try to get the upper hand which can have negative affects. For example, if an athlete is taking 1 dose
but still at disadvantage, they may increase dosage which would eventually be dangerous.
The pressure of being great, leads
to unhealthy decision making
Cheat or Train?
There is so much technology that increases
performance, how is this different that using
drugs
If your have the resources
mise will use them
Just prepare within your human capabilities
Take advantage of your diet and self
preparation to separate you from your
competition, because you can always outwork
someone

be like the pros.
If teenagers see the pros doing it, they will
follow in their footsteps, which at a young age
most steroids are very dangerous
