It is not necessary to subject athletes to tests for performance-enhancing substances. Many cases display that tests for prohibited medicines are not effective. Moreover, it is important to realize that application of tests by anti-doping agencies is illogical at Olympics. The chief purpose of Olympic sportspersons is following: to become faster, stronger and to be at the top level. Thus, why should you keep athletes far from drugs that could help them to reach this result?
As you know, steroids and other related medicines increase performance. So, athletes should be allowed to administer these remedies in order to boost physical performance.
A lot of persons argue that anabolic steroids and other doping products make competitions unfair. Is this opinion true? No, it wrong. You should recognize that tests for anabolic steroids and other related medicines make competitions unfair. A lot of sportspersons use performance-enhancing drugs while avoiding detection. Thus, certain sportspersons take anabolic steroids; others don’t violate anti-doping laws. As a result, dopers have unfair advantage over non-dopers. It’s unfair. Let all sportspersons have similar access to performance-enhancing drugs. So, competitions will be fairer.
But discussing unfairness in sports, you should remember about other aspects which have more essential influence of fairness/unfairness than anabolic steroids and other related medicines. Some sportspersons live in developed countries; others are in less developed countries. Some sportspersons have money to buy necessary equipment; others can’t afford it. Several countries can sponsor athletes, trainers, sport physicians and managers; others are not capable to do it. So, unfairness should be noticed here.
Olympic sportspersons spend much time while training. They sacrifice time, money, etc. That’s why it is illogical to disqualify those that are caught using anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
While sportspersons are sentenced to suspensions for intake of steroids and certain other chemical substances, they are never banned for application of herbs and certain potions. It is claimed that anabolic steroids and other chemical substances are suspended in sports because they can increase athletic performance. But what is for herbs and potions? They are also capable to increase strength. Nonetheless, these remedies are not banned in sports. Chinese sportspersons use herbal remedies and win.
Of course, you may argue that anabolic steroids and certain other products may lead to severe negative reactions. Undoubtedly, certain prohibited preparations may cause serious health troubles. But those who intend to apply these drugs do own research. They know about potential risks. Let athletes decide whether it is worthy to apply such medicines. If they are ready to worsen health, let them do it because they are masters upon own bodies.
