RE: The Sporting Taboo - Is Using Performance Enhancing Drugs Really Cheating?
I don't care if a no-one dies of an overdose , but I do care when a tenis player for example is taking PED .
2 players in a tennis match, close skill set, one is taking drugs that make her run like crazy for 3 sets.
I don't think that is in any way fair to the other player, to the spectators that pay the tickets from which they get paid , for the people that watch at home, who pay the TV subscription that pay TV rights to the event that hosts them and again , pay them .
When you are a professional athlete you have a huge responsibility , just as doctors have the Hippocratic oath
The problem is you don't know who is taking drugs and who is not. Also why is it fair that some people have a natural advantage?
What do you mean by natural advantage ? The problem is easily solved. Everyone has to be tested
How do you test for new drugs that are unknown?
