• Should doping in sport be legalised?
Not because people who doped themselves break the rules of sport. Competition should be clear and equal for every player. The most important reason is because this risked the player’s health.
• Will it ever be possible to stop athletes breaking the rules to win?
It will be difficult because of the different pressures that the athletes suffer. They need a result for continuing and they want to win. But is needed to continue making controls and to investigate for new ways of avoid this problem.
• Are athletes who take drugs cheats or are they victims?
Athletes normally are adults and I think that they are cheats as the coaches who permitted it.

Hi Sonia,
I agree with yours opinions, I also answer the questions and I hope that you're already agree with me.
• Should doping in sport be legalised?
I don’t think so, because I think that doping in sport can leaded to health disease.
• Will it ever be possible to stop athletes breaking the rules to win?
I don’t think so, because we live in a competitive society, and elite sport is one of the most competitive fields. There is too much money in sports and I think that will it never be possible to stop athletes breaking the rules to win.

• Are athletes who take drugs cheats or are they victims?

Perhaps they are both cheats and victims. They are cheats at the beginning and then they will become victims, because drugs results in serious health problems and leads to a reduced life expectancy.
