Drugs in Sports - Based on Scientific Research---That the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport should be legalized?

 
    Performance Enhancing Drugs       Today's athletes continue to push the boundaries of excellence in performance and physical fitness. Helping them are refined training methods and technologies. Never have athletes had more training aids at their disposal.
    And never had athletes had more opportunities to cheat, mainly through the proliferation of performance-enhancing drugs.
Twenty years ago, drug testing in sport was in its beginning stages. Now, it is complex and in constant change. Keeping sport clean has become a never-ending race between drug testers and those who choose to cheat.
    And as much as the quest for the podium or championship should be the big news, often negative reports about positive drug tests end up overshadowing competitors' accomplishments.
    So much so that some sports fans have become cynical. They may ask, how much of what we watch has been achieved by hard work, and what has been achieved by artificial means?
    The role of nutritional supplements and drugs in general are so ingrained in the culture of elite athletics that it can often be hard to tell where advanced training ends and cheating begins. Some athletes looking for an edge – legally – have unwittingly found themselves with positive drug tests. CBS Sports
     
             
                           
 

Hormones in Sports, The Safety and Efficacy of Anabolic Steroid Precursors: What is the Scientific Evidence?
Scientifically speaking--- Are performance-enhancing drugs a good thing or a bad thing?  
                     
                                   
           " ...not only is there no Santa Claus, but there's no Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy either, in the world of sport ... I mean the whole history of the Olympic Games is just full of corruption, cover-up, performance-enhancing drug use - it's not what the world thinks it is."
