RE: The Sporting Taboo - Is Using Performance Enhancing Drugs Really Cheating?

in #sport7 years ago

Think of it this way. What if 100 years down the lane, a certain substance is banned. Will it mean we go back the past century and cleanup records based on who used that drug?

The problem with this is PED is like a platform which continually keeps shifting its base. I think the sporting bodies need to give a solid guideline that will hold the test of time - say something like naming an enhancement drug that will hold true for at least 30 years. Then we should consider name & shame.

Right now it is best left to the player, coach and physiotherapist. The media and us cannot be the right judge of it.

Sort:  

But that is exactly why the current system doesn't work. There are probably records in place now that were set using currently banned substances. That in itself isn't fair.
