Doping in sport
Sport today is a profession which can bring money and
fame to an individual who invests big effort in training hard. Because of
that, many sportsmen burn out their bodies and damage their health. Some of them
aren’t able to achieve big results with their physical capacities and they reach
for forbidden substances.
Society find sport entertaining, recreational and a way
of maintaining good health and they don’t want to believe in the use of
doping. On the other hand, sportsmen use doping and cheat society because they
want to present themselves better than they are.
The problem could be solved, in my opinion, by legalising
the use of doping substances. There would be no more secrets and society would
not any longer idealise sportsmen who use drugs, and also, it would be fairer
to sportsmen who never used any drugs.
