Say yes to doping! Doping in sport is one of the most discussed issues in the world; either by free writers, or by the body of agencies linked to sport. The discussion began when Lance Armstrong, who won the 2002 Tour de France by leaving his closest rival 7 seconds behind, failed a doping test. Ellis Cashmore, professor of culture, media and sport at Staffordshire University in the United Kingdom, in his article Making Sense of Spots, made the argument that drugs should be allowed in sport. He effectively countered the argument that taking drugs would lead to the unfairness of the match. In his article he states: "We cannot say the same about other sports, although we can remind competitors that among the range of performance aids available to them, such as acupuncture, hypnotism, hypoxic tents (which simulate high levels of performance), altitude) and countless other perfectly legal performance enhancements are probably more dangerous than drugs. Apart from that, we are the kind of generation that never gets bored of striving for the best in human capabilities. Banning drug use in sport will surely affect athletes' performance and subsequently lead to fan 'turn-off' and this is certainly something that needs to be considered. I myself agree with Ellis Cashmore that drugs should be allowed in sport and will explain my argument in terms of the misconception about drugs, the role of drugs in promising competitive sports and the function of drugs in maintaining the health of athletes. First of all, in order to change the entire rule of sport by allowing the presence of drugs in sport, it is necessary to clarify the misconception about drugs. Professional athletes know that this requires a high dose...... middle of paper ...... trophic cardiomyopathy or heart defects. Rather than thinking that EPO will improve an athlete's cycling abilities, how about thinking that the drugs work to treat anemia? Overall, among all the reasons above, I believe that the presence of drugs will bring the sport to the whole sport. new level. By correcting the misconception about drugs, I think people will understand the importance of drugs in sport. More and more people are heading to the stadium simply to support their favorite athletes. It's definitely a better lifestyle than going to the bar and getting drunk. However, to allow the use of drugs in sports, extensive research must be carried out and sports-related organizations must set a good limit on drug use so that there are more benefits than harms . Drugs can do you good; it hurts you too. It depends on how you take it.
