Total elimination of doping from sports is illusion

What is your opinion linked with legalization of doping in sports?  Several individuals consider that it is time to legalize it. Others are against it. What do you believe?
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports think that anabolic steroids and other related products represent essential evil. They may cause severe unwanted reactions in consumers. Moreover, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another point of view, intake of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs should be allowed in sports. Let sportspeople apply whatever they desire! If they want to take anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they plan to apply other medicines, let them do it! If they desire to take certain drugs, let physicians monitor their intake! Health care providers know what their patients should do in order to avoid some unwanted consequences. Thus, performance-enhancing drugs will not lead to grave adverse effects. As a result, application of steroids and other related medicines will be relatively safe for health and life of users.
As you know, steroids and other doping products are currently prohibited in sports. When athletes are suspected and/or found guilty of doping, scandals appear. Such cases are often discussed during TV shows, in magazines, newspapers, on internet, etc. You must know that every scandal usually contains not only truth but also gossips, exaggerations, etc. As a result, you can’t be sure whether some affirmations are true or not.
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports say that sportspersons increase performance unnaturally with the help of anabolic steroids and other related medicines. Discussing about enhancement of physical performance, you should not forget about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive abilities, improvement of health, etc. Why do we apply several drugs and supplements, improving our health and life, while demonizing athletes that try to promote performance with steroids and other doping products? Isn’t it hypocrisy? You would notice that steroids and several other performance-enhancing drugs cause health problems. Yes, it is true. But what do you think about usage of caffeine and nicotine? They are accepted in the society. But it is necessary to notice that caffeine and nicotine cause more severe health problems than anabolic steroids and other related remedies. Nonetheless, consumers of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly demonized, as users of steroids.
Anti-doping agencies believe that they will soon eradicate doping from sports. “Sports will be clean”, - they exclaim. But it is important to acknowledge that doping will be never eradicated from sports. Anti-doping officials will not be ever able to do it. While they elaborate new methods of detection and enhance punishment for administration of forbidden substances, sportspersons find new ways to avoid detection. Thus, everyone should understand that this conflict will never end, if doping is not legalized in sports.
