Drugs in sport

While some argue that sports cannot move forward without performance-enhancing drugs, the majority views doping as unethical. As with any debated issue, there are some who support doping. Authors such as Ian Steadman defend the use of performance-enhancing drugs on the grounds that they are the future of sports. Sports have, and always will be, about being competitive and trying to outperform others. Doping, with this thinking in mind, is simply the next step in competitive sports. Coaches and…

believe that PED’s have no affect on the sport they play. Steroids, for example, are a PED that increases muscle development, but what if the sport has nothing to do with strength. In “Performance-Enhancing Drugs Should Be Legalized”, Stephen Wang agrees with this motion when he states that, “In sports such as baseball that require skills other than just endurance . . . strength-increasing drugs should not be banned” (Wang). Gary Roberts, editor and chief of Sports Lawyer, backs his argument by…

Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) have been a part of sport…

Should athletes be tested for drug use? I would totally agree with athletes being tested for drug use because athletes are motivators and inspirations to certain people. Athletes should at least be tested for all types of drug once a month, because athletes take advantage of drugs for different types of reasons. Some athletes take performance enhancing drugs because they want to improve in ways that basic training and practicing won’t be able to accomplish. Of course steroids are banned for…

When a child gets injured it is really scary. When it occurs in an organized sport that is supposed to be a safety haven for an enjoyable activity then it can be a tragedy. If the proper equipment is utilized then the risk of injuries decreases and safety is improved. Children or teen-agers that get injured while playing an organized sport may benefit from rules and regulations that are designed to protect players. Many of the injuries that can occur are very dangerous, sometimes even…

known as ‘eSports’, but I would argue that it qualifies as a regular professional sport due to demands on the human mind and body, the viewer base, and player as well as team sponsorships. “But they’re sitting down!” you might say, “its just a game!” you might say. But rowers sit down.…

makes them at her home. She does not get all of the fruits that the cafeteria has, but can still make a great smoothie. Before going to sporting events, she wants food that is normally served at sports bars to be served at the York Hill cafeteria. I believe that she wants to feel that atmosphere of the Sports bar while she is eating her food at the cafeteria before the game. She could…
