If one doper is praised, another shouldn’t be blamed

Dan Le Batard, a newspaper sportswriter, notes that it is needed to think over our attitude to doping. Do we evaluate various athletes the same way? Do we accept usage of steroids and other related preparations by athletes? What is our real attitude towards athletes that utilize anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs/procedures? Do we admire of those that are successful in sports due to anabolic steroids and other related remedies?
Sometimes the society is guilty for doping of sportspersons. The society should be demonized for abnormal behavior of sportspersons. The society expresses admiration of abnormal things which occur in sports. The society praises those that have ligaments removed from cadavers. The society admires of athletes that are involved in different abnormal actions: competing with catheter, cutting fingers off, etc. Athletes do a lot to become famous. They submit to various procedures that are not needed for their life. Furthermore, they use such medicines and procedures which cause various health problems in them. Why do they do such things? The answer is evident: they want to be praised; they desire to be famous. Thus, they do it for athletic performance. While athletes use remedies that result in grave harm in them, we support their behavior through our praise, awards, money, etc.
Actually, the society is hypocritical. While we are used to demonize anabolic steroids and several other forbidden medications, we don’t condemn sportspersons that utilize different procedures for increase of their athletic performance. While we blame several dopers, we praise others. Why are certain medicines and procedures prohibited for enhancement of performance, while others are allowed? Let be real! If you demonize anabolic steroids, don’t support those who use alternatives to these drugs which have also ability to promote athletic performance. If you want to see natural skills of sportspersons, don’t praise those that submit to various procedures for increase of athletic performance! Before you blame or admire someone/something, think over this aspect! Don’t hurry and be reasonable!
