Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 11:06 amShould doping in sport be legalised?
I think doping shouldn’t be legalised because athlete who don’t take drugs now, would be forced to do, to compete on equal terms. Obviously, with all the bad side effects.
Will it ever be possible to stop athletes breaking the rules to win?
The only way to stop the use of drugs in the sport is doing blood and urine test for all competitors at professional level. And, of course, disqualified them in case of positive result.
Are athletes who take drugs cheats or are they victims?
I think there are of two types; some of them do it on their own initiative and others under pressure of coach, results, or even by some governments.
