Performance Enhancing Drugs (Gustavo)

What do you think about performance enhancing drugs? Should athletes be allowed to take them to be stronger and faster? Why or why not?
Should athletes be able to use drugs to make them better at sport they’re playing why or why not?
No I believe a Sport is physical activity with rules and regulations used to build character and teach life lessons. Drug in sport would defeat its purpose and aid to health risks. It creates in unfair advantage. Even if the laws were lifted this would be a false argument. An opposing player would have to take the drug to even compete. This would make the game "unfair!" Performance enhancing drugs should be banned because it’s unfair, as because someone might train hard for a year so that they can win a race, and then someone takes some drugs a week or month before a race which then make them win. It’s also unfair because they may put less effort than a normal athlete but achieve higher standards because of the drug they have injected/taken. Drugs can also affect your own health and by taking them it means you’re putting your own body at risk of unhealthy issues or anger issues. Drugs shouldn’t be allow at any sport for no reason, sports are not meant for everyone. But if you are  a athlete, be legit in take pride for your work in training in do the right thing.
