The Reasons Why Steroids In Sports Should Be Banned
Use of steroids by athletes is very popular these days, even though steroids helps to perform them better as well as long lasts on the ground, but these kinds of drugs have some serious kind of long-term side effects on the body. In my opinion, performance enhancing drugs should not be allowed in sports as in, it becomes an act of cheating and can have severe effects on an athlete's body.
Firstly, I start off by saying that use of drugs which improve the performance and abilities makes the sport as a form of entertainment where the real spirit of the player is lost. Using steroids isn't just the cheating but as well as it is banned by the sports authority in most parts of the world. To win, one must put countless hours of hard work and must train himself/herself in natural ways. As we have many examples between us, players like Mohammad Ali, Michael Jordan who made their names in sports history without taking this kind of drugs.
Secondly, why steroids should not be allowed in sports is because they have health effects and consequences which can be extremely harmful and addictive. Moreover, intake of performance enhancing drugs and steroids can have a great impact on the behavior of an athlete. These drugs directly attacks the liver, kidneys and other body organs which can lead to infections, tumors, blood clots and even stroke, however can lead to the death of an athlete. Additionally, people become addicted to these kinds of drugs just like other drugs which can kill the inner athlete of a sportsman. On the other hand, acceptance of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs is urgent and controversial. As in, every player wants to earn fame, money and name in the history of sports. So, the constant and gradual progress development may not only the things which can help them to get what they desire. It is damn sure every one of us want to progress in our life and no one wants to be left behind in this competitive era, so they may be helpful.
To conclude, steroids have many side effects on one’s body which can be long- term. So, it should be upto World Anti-Doping Agency that these should be completely banned in sports so there should be a fair play. But anyhow, players use the drugs to shape and cherish their sports career and for a bright future but in an illegal way and they get many ways staying undetected.
