A good thing however could be that by using the sports industry to research medicine, we might be able to find a new cure for a disease, potentially saving lives or in the very least improving someone’s life quality severely. The large amount of money in sports could definitely be used to fund research on new medicine that can be used for diseases or just to enhance an athlete’s abilities. Another good thing is encouraging young people to become chemists or researchers, since there will be lots of money involved, and perhaps you’ll get to work with your favorite sports idol.
Researching and improving medicine is always good and it will help us create a better future.
Now let’s take a look at this quote from the article.
“Banning a competitor for having better chemicals in his blood than the rest makes as much

It is also fairly limited as to how much of an advantage you gain from using better shoes, compared to using performance enhancing drugs. So as to conclude, should it be legal to use drugs in sports?
I believe that it shouldn’t. While it would be a very good thing to have the sports industry involved in researching medicine, I worry about just how much boundaries are going to be pushed. Perhaps as far as to modify unborn fetuses, just so they can have an edge on their opponents when they grow older. That thought frightens
Exploring various research opportunities on campus and summer internships have allowed me to shape what I want my future to look like. When the time approached to set my personal and professional goals, I made a conscientious decision to enter a field that would allow me to leave a positive impact on mankind, while adding to the current body of research. There is more that can be done by combining research and medicine, and additional steps I can take to enhance scientific advances. These convictions, coupled with my passion for medicine and science, were significant factors in my interest in becoming a physician-scientist, pursuing an MD-PhD. As a scientist, I see how creation and innovation can aid. As a future medical doctor, I see the need to treat, heal, and
The four major sport leagues in the United States consist of the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), and the National Hockey League (NHL). All of the leagues have some similarities in their implemented drug policies, such as the need for testing athletes. Although the policies have similarities, there are many differences within the leagues, as well. Drug testing in professional sports has increased, due to the rise of players using illegal substances and Major League Baseball currently has the best drug-testing program. Drug-testing programs have become very complex and have many unique legal aspects that these leagues must face.
Other problems we have yet to solve in medicine are ways to stop and cure cancer, treat neuro-
The principle of the sport is that every human works with the strength they are willing to attain, but doing this artificially is cheating. While there are plenty of advantages people are predisposed to like genes that give them superior fast-twitch muscle strength or long legs and arms, a pure sport by the rules should be down to physical advantages only altered by how hard athletes work for medals. Since the beginning of all games between humans, dishonesty has been discouraged. To alienate those principles could backfire when more developed countries immediately overpower weaker countries who can't afford such medical endeavors. And there's no coincidence that countries are shamed for this practice. Yet some have reason to argue that if drugs and alterations are legalized in sport this could actually be safer for athletes. Who rather than working under sketchy sources can be provided with information to make the best decision about the drugs based on specific needs. But, had there not been drugs involved in be out of tradition but integrity that athletes honor what it takes to be the best instead of cheating to get
An athlete is responsible for the entertainment of millions of people, which is a complicated task. Once signed to a sports franchise, a weight is placed on an athlete’s shoulders that cannot be overlooked. However, to compensate for the challenging career, a high salary is provided. Economically speaking, the sports industry earns an immense profit that is distributed fairly to their players, taking into consideration future tax deductions. Participating in a professional sport is demanding on the fitness level, diet and the schedule of an athlete, which deserves a high payment to reward their hard work. Maintaining a successful career incorporating all of these factors can significantly compromise the mental and physical health of an elite
Furthermore,the sports world shouldn’t have the responsibility of keeping to pay for the athletes costs of spending.An athlete knows that there are consequences to the sport they are getting involved with.Athletes should not keep joining these sports without being educated of what to expect. If one loves that sport go ahead and enjoy it. NFL care for the athletes but should limit of how they care for them. As soon as one accepts the diseases it should no longer be the responsibility of the sports
Are you aware of 52 German athletes given anabolic steroids during the 1970's and 1980's who were examined in a 2007 study, one quarter got some form of cancer, one third reported thoughts or attempts of suicide, and the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth was 32 times higher than in the normal German population. Drug use in sports should not be allowed such as it already isn’t. Drugs use in sports such as steroids, can be good for the moment of the game, but after it could affect your body. But like all hormones, which regulate the body's most basic functions, throwing one's testosterone out of balance can have wide-ranging consequences. It is true that steroids build up your muscle although they are powerful hormones and affect the whole body. Side effects may include abnormally high levels of testosterone in the body and may include high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, liver damage, heart failure, acne, baldness, as well as aggressive and violent behavior. The use of drugs such as steroids, should not come into play when it comes to athletes, to play a sport you must have natural talent and not use steroids to make you even better, you gain an unfair advantage.
Throughout the book, many things “dries up,” including wine (1:10), the vine (1:12), trees of the field (1:12), gladness (1:12), and grain (1:17).
Secondly, we know by now that the medical field is constantly changing. As technology evolves so do we. Scientists are in labs every day discovering new causes, treatments and cures for diseases. We are identifying more pathogens constantly, and learning
This is making it easier for scientist and doctors to find diagnosis for patients. And find cures for some of the stronger diseases. so could you ask yourself ,in the next decade or two could we just might find the cure to some of the big problem diseases in our society, such as cancer, ALS, and hundreds more. the answer could be right before our very eyes.
Do you want to want to become the peak athlete that you know your body is capable of? Well, this paper will not do that for you, but it will tell you how, and it will tell you why it should be legal to do so. Doping in sports is one of the most extensive debates within the realm of athletics. Whether it be injecting anabolic steroids, consuming them, or blood doping, athletes will do drugs. Doping has no effect on the viewership of the sport. Athletes can always find ways to cheat the system, and trying to prevent the use seems impossible. The use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) should be legalized, as long as it is allowed under medical supervision.
Paying sports professionals more than other notable experts has its negative influences to the public. First, this gives more value to entertainment other than productive activities, such as education and obtaining technical skills. For instance, people would neglect the importance of updating themselves with the currents events to watch their favorite athletes play. Second, it discourages young people to study,
For this Outcome I was split into a small group of people within my class and was asked to prepare a PowerPoint presentation of no more than 10 minutes addressing the various elements of the marketing process and the benefits and costs of a marketing orientated business giving examples. (PowerPoint presentation attached and notes)
Yes, I totally believe that drug should be banned in sport competitions. My opinions are that drugs are dangerous! No one should be using drugs, it isn’t healthy for your health, it controls the person lives, and it hurt the people around you. Sports are to show everyone your hard work you have put in, not to cheat and take the easy route. For example, if an athlete that does boxing or kickboxing uses drugs to improve his/ her skills, they’ll have a great advantage in winning the game and will leave great damage to the opponent. I have read articles and seen fight matches that leave the opponent bruised up and leave to the hospital to check they didn’t get any brain concussions. Finally,
This excitement can be good, bad or in some cases, misleading. The medical field has vastly made its way into a huge money pit of enduring “technological advances”. But, the advances are sometimes not always what they seem to be. Looking ahead, the questions we need to ask ourselves would be: are we getting to excited too quickly when it comes to the amount of anticipation we have about the advances in the medical field? Is there a chance we look for the potential of these “revenge effects” with it all? While trying to discover an answer to these questions, I feel as though people need to take a step back and realize that we will never know right now, what these advances will do for us in the near future whether its change us negatively or positively. Harmful or safe, watchfulness should always be done when it comes to medical technology. Thankfully, the knowledge and skills used with the equipment, has and will continue to save millions and millions of lives now and in the future. The diagnosis of new vaccines and miracle drugs has increased the existence of this population by about twenty years.
