If Performance Enhancing Drugs Were Allowed in Sports

Viewing Athletes as Role Models

The younger generation of athletes are always trying 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

An athletes job is to perform at the highest level possible.

Spectators pay to watch athletes perform their talents, not to learn how to live their lives.

Cheat or Train?

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

There is so much technology that increases performance, how is this different that using drugs

If your have the resources mise will use them

Athletes Become Bigger Faster Stronger

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

Competition Level Increases

More Spectators become involved which means more revenue.

Health Risk

It is the athletes choice to make if they want to face negative side affects from the steroids.

What gives us the right to tell them what they can and can't do to their bodies
