Anti-doping agencies will never “defeat” dopers

What is your opinion related to legalization of doping in sports?  Certain persons say that it is time to legalize it. Others don’t agree. What do you believe?
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports say that steroids and other related drugs represent essential evil. They may cause severe negative reactions in consumers. Furthermore, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another opinion, usage of steroids and other doping products should be permitted in sports. Let sportspersons take whatever they desire! If they desire to use anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they intend to use other products, let them do it! If they desire to take several preparations, let physicians assist their application! Health care providers know what their patients should do in order to avoid several undesirable reactions. Thus, doping products will not lead to serious undesirable reactions. As a result, usage of anabolic steroids and other related medications will be relatively safe for health and life of consumers.
As you know, anabolic steroids and other doping products are currently forbidden in sports. When sportspersons are suspected and/or found guilty of doping, scandals appear. Such cases are widely 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 certain affirmations are true or not.
Those that are against legalization of doping in sports claim that sportspersons enhance performance unnaturally with the help of steroids and other related medicines. Speaking about enhancement of athletic performance, you should remember about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive skills, improvement of health, etc. Why do we apply several drugs and supplements, improving our health and life, while demonizing sportspersons who try to promote performance with steroids and other doping products? Isn’t it hypocrisy? You would note that anabolic steroids and certain other performance-enhancing drugs lead to health problems. Yes, it is true. But what do you consider about usage of caffeine and nicotine? They are accepted in the society. But it is necessary to note that caffeine and nicotine cause more serious health troubles than anabolic steroids and other related medicines. Nonetheless, consumers of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly criticized, as consumers of steroids.
Anti-doping agencies consider that they will soon eliminate doping from sports. “Competitions will be fair”, - they exclaim. But it is necessary to realize that doping will be never eradicated from sports. Anti-doping officials will not be ever capable to do it. While they introduce new tests and enhance penalties for administration of prohibited substances, athletes find new ways to avoid detection. So, anyone should comprehend that this “game” will never end, if doping is not legalized in sports.
