I AM TOTALLY AGAINST DOPING. IF YOU WERE GIVEN THE GIFT OF PLAYING OR PERFORMING A SPORT AND YOU WANT TO COMPETE IT IS BEACUSE YOU WANT TO SHOW OR COMPARE HOW GOOD YOU ARE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT ATHLETES SHOULD BE PROUD OF.
IF THEY APPEAL TO ANY KIND OF DRUG IT IS BEACAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH OR BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFRENT INTERESTS LIKE WINNING JUST FOR FAME, MONEY, ETC..
WHEN ATHLETES DECIDE TO TAKE THESE KIND OF SUBSTANCES IT IS THEIR OWN RESPOINSIBILITY, THEY ARE NO MORE THAN CHEATS AND FOR SURE THEY MUST BE DISQUALIFIED WIHTOUT ANY CONSIDERATION.
I DONT KNOW IF CHEATING COULD BE COMPLETELY STOPPED BUT IF RULES WERE MORE STRICT ATHLETES WOULD HAVE LESS CHANCE TO CHEAT.

Hi Ericka, I think everybody agrees it's a bad thing. But it seems that it is not so easy to stop, despite the fact that the rules are much stricter now than in the past.. I don't know what the solution is.
See you,
Pieter
