Performance-Enhancing Drugs Allowed in Sports

Public Influence

Doping becomes regular among younger and younger athletes

Kids look to their favorite athletes and think doing drugs is ok

Spike in young athletes doping

Devaluing the sport itself

Two types of athletes exist, thus a separation in the sports field as a whole.

Divided athletes, less sense of unity

Kids joining sports for the wrong reasons

False sense of hope for young atheltes

Unsafe/Dangerous

Some drugs can be addictive thus resulting in use outside of athletic performance.

Could result in adverse health effects for athletes

Unfair Playing Field

Rewarding dangerous behavior

More rewards = more similar behavior

Won't know which athletes are truly the best

More anger exchanged between equally talented athletes

Not all athletes will take the drugs

How do normal athletes compete with those taking the drugs?
