Sports will be never “clean”

What is your opinion linked with legalization of doping in sports?  Certain persons say that it is time to legalize it. Others are against it. What is your point of view?
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports say that steroids and other related preparations represent great evil. They may cause serious unwanted results in consumers. Moreover, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another point of view, application of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs should be allowed in sports. Let sportspersons apply whatever they desire! If they want to apply steroids, let them do it! If they intend to take other preparations, let them do it! If they desire to use certain medications, let doctors monitor their administration! Health care providers know what their patients should do in order to prevent some unwanted effects. So, performance-enhancing drugs will not lead to grave negative reactions. As a result, application of anabolic steroids and other related preparations will be relatively safe for health and life of consumers.
As you know, anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are currently banned in sports. When athletes are suspected and/or found guilty of doping, scandals appear. Such cases are often discussed during TV shows, in magazines, newspapers, on internet, etc. You must know that every scandal commonly contains not only truth but also gossips, exaggerations, etc. As a result, you can’t assure whether some affirmations are true or not.
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports claim that sportspersons increase performance unnaturally with the help of steroids and other related drugs. Discussing about enhancement of athletic performance, you should remember about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive abilities, improvement of health, etc. Why do we administer some medicines and supplements, improving our health and life, while demonizing sportspersons that try to promote performance with steroids and other doping products? Isn’t it hypocrisy? You would notice that steroids and some other doping products lead to health problems. Yes, it is true. But what do you think about usage of caffeine and nicotine? They are accepted in the society. But it is important to notice that caffeine and nicotine cause more serious health problems than anabolic steroids and other related medications. Nevertheless, users of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly criticized, as consumers of steroids.
Anti-doping agencies think that they will soon eliminate doping from sports. “Sports will be clean”, - they exclaim. But it is necessary to acknowledge that doping will be never eradicated from sports. Anti-doping officials will not be ever able to do it. While they introduce new tests and enhance penalties for intake of prohibited substances, sportspersons find new ways to avoid detection. So, anyone should comprehend that this conflict will never end, if doping is not legalized in sports.
