Bad reputation

Olympic sports are being ruined by drug use. I strongly believe that performance-enhancing drug use in sports should be banned. This is because it gives the users an unfair advantage over genuine competitors as well as a negative reputation. This results in not only detrimental short-term and long-term health effects but also can damage the person's sporting image severely.

Any interaction with performance-enhancing drugs in sports should be illegal. Many famous sports players put all of their time and effort into training to be good and be rewarded, but drug intake take puts unfair advantages who have worked very hard to get where they are and where they are going to. Sportsmen such as Tyger Woods who consumed many drugs in 2015 such as Xanax, Vicodin and a couple more. Many other players used steroids to enhance their appearance and body strength, for instance, Ben Johnson with a 100-meter dash, Roy Jones Jr for boxing and Shoaib Akhtar with his cricket career.

However, unfairness isn't the only thing that drugs ruin. Your health is another one. Any drug usually has bad effects such as bad breakout of acne, liver disease, heart disease, increase the change of mood and over an excessive amount of oil in the face and hair. These dangerous effects can stick with you long term depending on what substance is taken. While consuming drugs they can also lead to suicide and depression thoughts due to not being in the right mindset or headspace.

Lastly, children who are exposed to athletes taking drugs through media may influence them into consuming drugs especially if the athlete is considered a role model. For instance, if a child's athlete role model has been discovered using drugs, a 50% chance the child could possibly copy their actions. If a child idolizes an athlete and wants to follow in their footsteps, they may think the drugs the athlete takes is a step toward being more like them.

In conclusion, The main reasons drugs should not be in sports are; unfair advantages on others who do not consume performance-enhancement drugs in their sport, bad effects on your physical and mental health, and may also influence and encourage children to use stimulant drugs.
