Total elimination of doping from sports will never take place

What do you think about legalization of doping in sports?  Some persons think that it is time to legalize it. Others don’t agree. What is your opinion?
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports believe that anabolic steroids and other related products represent great evil. They may cause serious negative effects in users. Moreover, a doper has unfair advantage over a non-doper during competitions.
According to another opinion, application of steroids and other doping products should be permitted in sports. Let athletes take whatever they desire! If they desire to take anabolic steroids, let them do it! If they plan to use other medicines, let them do it! If they want to use some products, let physicians manage their usage! Physicians know what their patients should do in order to avoid some undesirable reactions. So, doping products will not lead to serious negative effects. As a result, administration of anabolic steroids and other related medications will be relatively safe for health and life of consumers.
As you know, steroids and other doping products are currently forbidden in sports. When sportspersons are suspected and/or found guilty of doping, scandals appear. Such situations are frequently discussed during TV shows, in magazines, newspapers, on internet, etc. You must know that every scandal commonly contains not only truth but also gossips, exaggerations, etc. As a result, you can’t be sure whether certain affirmations are true or not.
Those who are against legalization of doping in sports claim that athletes enhance performance unnaturally with the help of anabolic steroids and other related medications. Speaking about enhancement of athletic performance, you should remember about enhancement of sexual performance, cognitive abilities, improvement of health, etc. Why do we administer some preparations and supplements, improving our health and life, while blaming sportspersons that try to promote performance with steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs? Is it fairly? You would note that anabolic steroids and several other performance-enhancing drugs cause health problems. Yes, it is true. But what do you think about usage of caffeine and nicotine? They are accepted in the society. But it is necessary to notice that caffeine and nicotine lead to more serious health troubles than anabolic steroids and other related medicines. Nonetheless, users of caffeine and nicotine are not so harshly blamed, as consumers of steroids.
Anti-doping agencies hope that they will soon eliminate doping from sports. “Competitions will be fair”, - they exclaim. But it is necessary to realize that doping will be never eliminated from sports. Anti-doping officials will not be ever capable to do it. While they elaborate new methods of detection and increase punishment for administration of prohibited substances, sportspersons find new ways to avoid detection. So, everyone should understand that this “game” will never end, if doping is not permitted in sports.
