Introduction
Doping is a form of human enhancement that lets an athlete perform beyond the limitations of our everyday species' functioning.One of the most common drugs for doping is performance-enhancing steroids. If we ban doping, it will prevent athletes from taking unfair shortcuts and maintain a degree of discipline. Many athletes think that banning doping prevents them from achieving the very best degrees of success. The question is, is doping a fair means to enhance the athlete's performance, and should it be allowed in sports?
Should doping not be allowed in sports?
Sport is all about competing based on ability. Legalising doping might pressure all athletes to start doping and stop competing without it. It would affect their health, but it will also result in questioning the importance of training. Everybody reacts differently to doping, so some may have an unfair advantage over others. This ruins the concept of sports activities. Therefore, this makes it unfair to allow doping in professional sports activities.
