The Importance Of Performance Enhancing Drugs

Performance enhancing drugs must be made legal in professional sports. Professional athletes would not be given free reign of all the PEDs available in the world, but rather a new set of rules would be issued. The rules would allow athletes to meet or exceed their maximum abilities as humans while making it safer than the modern state. If made legal the potential results of PEDs would be tested and altered appropriately to create the safest, most impactful drugs; however, in the current situation professional athletes buy PEDs from sellers without pharmaceutical or sports medicine credentials. Performance enhancing drugs have the potential to develop super humans, and if made legal in professional sports, it would create the most talented and entertaining sporting events of all time.

Performance-enhancing drugs (PED 's) have been an issue for many decades now for the medical and sports field. Olympic and professional athletes have been using them to gain an upper hand on the competition, but some may ask if it 's really worth it? Studies show that performance-enhancing drugs have been proven to negatively affect the health of athletes who take them. Simply put, performance-enhancing drugs could either improve athletic performance or can be extremely dangerous, in certain situations, deadly. There have been strict rules and drug testing in the professional sporting organizations, as well as in world competitions. For example, in the summer of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, in two of the

“Commentators claim that performance-enhancing drugs are not right or wrong, simply another strategy to improve performance” (Introduction to Performance-Enhancing Drugs). There are two main problems wrong with the use of drugs being legal. Health of athletes would drop devastatingly, and the true competition would become who gets lucky. “Some mourn the loss of yesterday's baseball heroes, while others argue that sport figures who use performance-enhancing drugs expose flaws in American culture” (Introduction to Performance-Enhancing

Sports illustrated interviewed a cohort (group of people) of elite Olympic athletes, asking, “If you were given a performance-enhancing substance, you would not be caught, and you would win, would you take it? Ninety-eight percent of athletes answered yes.”(Charleston) That is a big number. Big risk with such a small chance of success. Taking drugs to enhance your performance is just not right. Striving to get better, takes patience and perseverance. Athletes are known for their road they take to get to where they are today. Along with jail time, athletes that commit illegal acts should be banned from their sport, for their careers will never be the same, children should not look up to athletes who do those things, and the chance of losing

Performance enhancing drugs have been ruining competitive sports for a long period of time. Starting all the way back into the first Olympic Games, 776 BC - 393 BC. Even though the drugs were not the same as they are now. The way athletes are taking them is ruining competitive sports from here on out. Performance enhancing drugs are not only a form of cheating, but they can also be very harmful and dangerous. They can lead into serious body defects and could cause death as evidenced by some athletes who have used them extensively. The established side effects and adverse reactions for men and women included acne, genital changes, water retention in tissue, yellowing of eyes and skin, oily skin, stunted growth, fetal damage, coronary artery

I believe performance-enhancing drugs are an illusion to athletes as they only see one side of the drug. Athletes take these drugs knowing it will help them become stronger. But little do they know that the side effects of the drugs are very dangerous. When it comes to sports many athletes are influenced to take these drugs. These drugs might give athletes an advantage, but there are many risks when taking these drugs. These performance drugs can be androstenedione, steroids, androstenedione, and human growth hormone. Each one of these drugs is extremely dangerous and have many bad side effects to the human body.

Have you ever heard of performance-enhancing drugs, drugs that are used to increase your physical performance.? Well, right now there’s an argument about whether they should be dealt with accordingly to professional sports. The main issue right now is if they should be allowed in some of the professional sports. And right now a heavy amount of sports organizations are involved, such as NBA, NFA, even Nascar. This issue is important because right now people are using performance-enhancing drugs in drugs, and people are concerned if it's allowed. I personally believe that performance-enhancing drugs shouldn’t be allowed in professional sports, and people should be banned from using them. For example, using performance-enhancing

The use of performance enhancing drugs to help athletes perform better is illegal and considered cheating as this drug gives the athlete who may have been an average performer an edge over the competition after the use of these drugs. This is unfair to the other players who are playing a fair game. No matter at what level whether its high school, college or a professional, athletes should not be using drugs to help or boost their performance in any way as it wrong and the athlete is basically cheating his way to the top. No doubt that drugs/HGH may help the player’s vitality and even reduce injury time but the serious side effects of prolonged use is still unknown and is still cheating since it’s not legal as not every player is taking it to make it a fair game.

A more subtle and serious question is why we prohibit certain performance aids in the first place. Sure, the rules of sport may ban anabolic steroids or synthetic hormones like human growth hormone (HGH), believed to enhance strength, and erythropoietin (EPO,) which stimulates the production of oxygen-carrying cells in the blood and thereby increases endurance. But what makes those means for improving performance bad while other things, from better equipment to more sophisticated training methods or nutrition regimens, are perfectly okay? What makes the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport an ethical

As great as sports is for our society, there is still a pressing issue regarding ethics in sports: the use of performance enhancing drugs in sports. There is a debate among athletes, owners and fans whether athletes should be able to use performance enhancing drugs . With that being said, performance enhancing drugs has had a negative effect on sports Athletes should not be able to use performance enhancing drugs because they have

Performance enhancing drugs are addictive and can cause many health issues. Excess use can lead simply to death and coma. Do you want random crap shoved into your body? Working hard and developing your muscles naturally is much better than inserting artificial hormones which can destroy the body slowly. Your minds will be infected with anger and can make you rage and become extremely violent as if you just became the new Incredible HULK. Performance enhancing drugs are too risky for athletes to take.

One of the major issues in the news recently has been the use of performance enhancing substances in sports. This topic has been the subject of many front-page headlines in many publications, from sports magazines to newspapers. A recent scandal involving a San Francisco Bay Area laboratory, BALCO Laboratories, has brought this issue to the forefront, and it's really gotten a lot of attention because this case has led to a 42 count federal indictment by the U.S. Attorney General.[1] Another question can be asked as well: Should these performance-enhancing substances be allowed in sports?

If Performance enhancing drugs were legalised in the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, the gameplay would be more entertaining for the audience to watch. If PED's (performance enhancing drugs) were legalised, athletes would be able to use them to make themselves bigger, faster, and stronger [Lyaden.T. and Feldman.J. 2017]. Studies have shown that while professional bodybuilding does not test its competitors for PED's, their athletes have grown larger, stronger, and more impressive each season[Lyaden.T. and Feldman.J. 2017]. Dr. Charles Yesalis, an expert in the field or steroid use and an emeritus professor of science and public health, states that "[performance enhancing] Drugs will take your body places you can't get without them."[Lyaden.T.

Drug use in sports has been around for many years and is becoming an increased issue as the athletes’ desire and pressure to be on top has become enormous. Some of the most common drugs used by athletes to enhance their performance include Human Growth Hormones (HGH) and anabolic steroids for enhanced strength, erythropoietin (EPO) for improved aerobic performance and drugs to mask other drugs such as diuretics. These drugs and others on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) enhance the performance, abilities and reduce time needed for adaptations to occur during training, for example increased muscle size, blood concentration levels and ability of an athlete to react to a stimulus. This raises many ethical issues associated with the use of these drugs in sports.

“I started taking anabolic steroids in 1969 and never stopped. It was addicting, mentally addicting. Now I'm sick, and I'm scared. Ninety percent of the athletes I know are on the stuff. We're not born to be 300 lbs or jump 30ft. But all the time I was taking steroids, I knew they were making me play better.” Lyle Alzado, American footballer. This is just one of many athletes who have took performance enhancing drugs in the past and have lived to regret it.
