STEROIDS IN SPORTS AND HOW IT AFFECTS YOUNG PEOPLE
 
As of this moment, the debate regarding steroids in sports and how it affects young people remain to be controversial. It was heightened especially during the 1988 Olympics when Ben Johnson, who broke the world record for his 100-meter dash, was stripped off from his gold medal after proven to be a positive steroid user. Not just deprived of his triumph, he was also labelled as a child who was once under the immorality of steroids.

Anti-steroid groups claim so many misconceptions about steroids, particularly steroids in sports and how it affects young people. One such claim is that these drugs result in an unfair competition.  While it is true that taking anabolic steroids can enhance athlete’s performance at certain degrees, there is still no justifiable reason for their claim that taking some would result to unfair competition. Why would it be unfair? When does “enhancing performance” become unjust? If that’s the case, then why does training and coaching remains to be legal, in the first place? It enhances performance, right? It is important to note that a competition can only become unfair if one among all parties has no access to such enhancements and prohibiting these supplements is what restricts their access to such.

Another claim is that steroids demoralize the true value of sports. The fact is sports – they are just simply games. It’s a competition that aims to put all players to their full potential, a competition, where one has to win, one has to lose. And with the goal of winning over the other players, every athlete use diverse kinds of unnatural supports to help improve their performance. To boost their performance, athletes buy first-class rackets, comfortable outfits, the finest gloves, the most excellent bats, and in fact, they also take in chemicals such as energy drinks, and diet pills. So why on earth do these enhancements remain officially lawful? 

Despite the many negative feedbacks regarding steroids in sports and how it affects young people, many athletes still prefer to use steroid because aside from making their muscles bigger, it can help them reduce muscle damage, and turn recover from a hard workout rather faster. However, with the fear of being disqualified, they are just deprived of taking the advantage of this man-made pill.
