In Smith’s point of view, he believes that PED’s will “suddenly make the playing field even” (Smith). Smith also writes “the primary reason why Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) are outlawed in professional sports is that they give users an unfair advantage over the rest of the field. Various professional sports leagues have attempted to set a level playing field by testing for drug use and suspending those found guilty. This is a noble effort, but it’s clearly not working” (Smith). Smith contradicts himself, he can’t have it both ways. On the one hand, he argues that PEDs will “suddenly make the playing field even.” On the other hand, he also says that “the primary reason PEDs are outlawed in professional sports is that they give an unfair advantage over the rest of the field.” He believes that if we make PED’s legal for athletes to use, everyone will have the same opportunity to be good players. The playing field is already balanced, bringing the use of steroids in professional sports will only disrupt the fair environment sports officials have been working
