Analyzing Adam Peaty's Arguments Regarding The Rio Olympics

The city of Los Angeles will make a better location for the 2024 Olympics rather than Paris, France. There are many key factors that prove the having Los Angeles host the 2024 Olympics will go much smoother than having any other city host. For example, LA already has had the experience of hosting the Olympics, therefore the city have learned from its’ mistake. Although some may argue that another city should have a turn, the matter is not about fairness, it’s about making sure the athletes will perform in a less stressful environment. Nearly every person knows that Southern California has dreamy skies and gorgeous weather. Without having to worry about rain, snow, or an excessive heat wave, LA is at the top of the charts for a guaranteed smooth

The Olympics now have various organizations and committees delegated to testing for and eliminating the use of performance enhancing drugs. The most recent Olympic committee for the Games in Vancouver was partnered with the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, L’Institut national de la recherche scientifique — Institut Armand-Frappier, the United States Anti-Doping Agency, and LifeLabs to collect and test approximately 2450 blood and urine samples (“Anti-Doping Initiatives”). Their meticulousness and commitment was most definitely justified. Olympic athletes implicitly agree to a social contract of fair competition. Those athletes who take steroids have an unfair advantage over those who do not, and therefore these athletes are breaking this social contract.

drugs to improve their performance, and it became a controversial topic in the Olympics and in

Many believe professional athletes should get mandatory drug tests. This includes Professional athletes such as MLB, NBA, MLS. Etc. This is very important because many believe the abuse of drugs can lead athletes to an advantage against others. But yet many disagree on drug testing. The decision to not drug test athletes is very controversial because some athletes need pain relievers or sleeping medications. Drugs such as steroids are a big topic because many athletes gain strength and performance. Due to “doping” many athletes could possibly be able to break record. Many agree with drug testing athletes due to these reasons.

What does it mean to cheat? The definition of cheating is to act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination. This is a very broad definition that that could encompass a variety of actions. In the Olympics some teams have access to superior resources that other less fortunate teams don't have access to. Having state of the art equipment certainly gives an advantage, but is this an unfair advantage? Who decides what is unfair and what isn't? Several pro-athletes have been caught using drugs to give themselves a competitive advantage. Caffeine is a drug that offers several advantages over someone who doesn't use it. Does that give them an unfair advantage to someone who can't consume caffeine for religious reasons? Where is the line drawn for people using the best methods they can to improve themselves? There is certainly a grey area for what is and isn't considered cheating in terms of bettering yourself.

-Controversy surrounds Rio de Janeiro as the city hosts the Olympics with contaminated water, posing a danger to aquatic athletes.

“The International Olympic Committee first instituted doping controls at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France and again at the Summer Olympics in Mexico City that same year. Anabolic steroids were added to the list of banned substances in 1975 and have reported more than 2,000 cases per year” (Asimor).The number of athletes tested positive for steroid intake is on the rise every year as well as the consequences of such action. Individual athletes or athletic teams are automatically disqualified and expelled from competition, forced to return titles, and kept in unchangeable record files.

The effects that doping agents offer have attracted so many athletes. Consequently, the finding of the usage of the doping brings the athlete to suspension as a sanction for violating the sports rule. From February 9th, 2008 until March 4th, 2016, 87 cases of athletes violating the anti-doping rule have been reported [5]. These athlete had been banned from the competition for 1 year until the life time. Concerning the high number of athletes using doping, many tests have been developed. There are two different tests based on the samples used, urine testing and blood testing.

In Rio de Janeiro, the Olympics were held in 2016 and costed a whopping $13.1 billion dollars. I think that we should stop the Olympics for many reasons, such as the cost, the labor, and the fact that the Olympics does not include all of the American sports. Although people think that the Olympic stadium is worth the cost and labor, I have to disagree because once the stadium is used, it will rarely get used ever again and all that cost and labor will go to waste.

Security is a fundamental notion in sports. Nowadays athletes are viewed often through the media, therefore they are recognizable. In the Olympics security measures must be taken to protect the athletes. There are many different nationalities involved therefore security has to be taken in order to ensure that there aren’t conflicting views that could possibly be damaging towards another team. But quite often it cannot be prevented.

The athletes was given pills not knowing what it was but the coaches knew and had to keep quiet and not say anything about the doping that was going on with their athletes which is wrong for them to not tell them of what is really inside of those drug but money play a huge

Pre 2010 nearly every winner of the Tour de France have been implicated in doping one way or another. Has cycling jumped from being the most doped sport to the cleanest, or have the peddlers developed new means of sophisticated doping? Aside from cycling, it’s estimated that around 80% of 100-meter finalists are or will be implicated in doping. Doping mimics a normal physiological process so it will always be possible to beat the test. Thus the questions ponders, should we embrace the inevitable, and control doping as best we

Before finding social science research of the Paralympic Games is important to review the academic study of the history of the Paralympic Games, only in the past five to ten years, any serious effort to record their history and development. It is different from the Olympics, there is not a single file or library source, the full document of the subject. The main reason seems to be no one chat in these early game I believe Paralympic Games will reach the size or importance, will make them worthy of study in the academic literature, the Olympic Games will be held on a shoe string budget by volunteers who have little or no time, to ensure that the Olympic Games full of records (Brittain, 2010). To understand the historical development of the Paralympic

According to the author, the Association Press reported that 13 of 40 United States rowers between ages 16 to 19 who arrived in Rio for training experiences symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. In addition, 4 staff members and racing teams from other countries also fell ill in Rio. The U.S. rowing officials acknowledge that the water pollution causes them to fell ill even though they did not blame directly to water pollution. According to the author, Dr. Kathryn Ackerman, the U.S. rowing team’s physician said that she was not sure that if it was the bottles in boats or hygiene precautions that some athlete are were really concerned about and others were not. Her personal thought to the illness was caused by the lake. The U.S. rowing team coach, Susan Francia also fell ill in Rio and she said that it does not seem to be normal.

Despite many incidents of the athletes and the corporate sponsors infringing the core values of the Olympics, the IOC claims that they are working on their part to enforce more significance on the Olympics moral standards. The IOC is the main organizer of the Olympics Games, who is responsible for the total construction of the event, from the venue, athletes, to the judging system; thus, it should be safe to assume that once the IOC determines to put effort into reviving the true spirits of the Olympics, the moral codes of the Games should gradually restore. During the Sochi Olympics event, where five athletes were sent home after being tested positive from the use of performance-boosting drugs, Thomas Bach, an IOC president, commented that
