Advantages: A serious opinion about the pros and cons of drug use in sport

Disadvantages: a bit unbalanced

What are some of the consequences of using performance enhancing drugs in sport? And should use of performance-enhancing drugs be allowed in sport? Consequences of using drugs in sport, many mostly bad ones. Should the use of them be legalized? No way. The use of performance enhancing drugs in sport should remain banned.

I will start by listing and explaining the positive aspects of using performance enhancing drugs in sport.
Practically the only reason people watch sport is to see a high performance level of the sport that they like best. By legalizing the use of performance enhancing drugs in sport the IOC and other bodies would be providing what their main fans want, and who are fans, the public the people who watch what the IOC and others puts on their TV screen. This action would increase their publicity and popularity hugely.
If the sporting bodies did legalize the use of performance enhancing drugs they would save and pull in more money that if they were still carrying out drug testing. What many people don’t realize it that the IOC and the Common Wealth Games organizers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of funds a year on drug testing the athletes that are taking part in these events. If drugs were legalized the sport companies would be able to spend the money formally wasted on testing on better things such as improving the Olympics
and the Common Wealth Games and the athlete’s facilities there.
Also the use of such drugs such as steroids is not a sort of “ACME INSTANT MUSCLE PILL” is merely gives you the power to train harder and lets your muscles repair more quickly.
Now I will list and explain the negative aspects of using performance enhancing drugs in sport.
One of the main fallacies of using drugs in sport is that most of them can and most of the do cause organ failure and even sudden death in some cases. This is a huge deterrent and one of the main reasons performance enhancing drugs shou
ld remain banned for sport. The use of performance enhancing drugs may also cause Cancer and Heart disease.
Another negative point is that the cost of drugs is horrendous and can put a athlete seriously in debt if he doesn’t have a large income. And at the end of the day the buying of these drugs only strengthens the black market. One more point that can really put athletes off is the major testosterone rush you can get from taking anabolic steroids. This rush gives males larger breasts and their ahhem gets smaller, the effects in females are as follows, the breasts get smaller and their hair in certain regions get for lack of a better word, abundant.
I have now summed up the most important facts about drug use and now I will tell why drugs should remain banned in sport.

Drugs should remain banned in sport because it is impure, people do watch sport to see the highest level of it and taking drugs to do that is not making it higher it is degrading sport into something that requires no skill to participate in, in other words it would improve the sport it would ruin it. Wouldn’t an athlete get more satisfaction after winning a race if he had run it on his own back and hard work, rather than if he had just taken some speed before the race in order to win. You see not only does the public get to see good clean ball the athletes get a feeling of self achievement that they could not get if they took drugs unless they get a kick from having just cheated to win something. And this is why the use of performance enhancing drugs in sport should remain completely and utterly banned.
