Drugs should be banned in all sports. They have been a problem for a long time. Athletes use them to show off their bodies and simply for edge. There is nothing wrong with using certain medications to improve your body, as long as they are legal. The problem with drugs in sport is how to detect them. Some professional sports, like the NHL, don't even use drug tests. The only sports that test everything are the NBA and NFL. Major League Baseball only tests for illegal drugs such as marijuana and cocaine. They do not test for the presence of steroids or any other type of pill. The reason is that the players union will not authorize these tests. They are currently voting to reconsider this idea. The other problem is that drug tests are very expensive and there are many loopholes around these tests. The other problem is that athletes are not punished harshly enough if they fail a drug test. They are fined for pocket change and suspended for a few matches. Drugs must be banned because they are harmful to health. The long-term effects of these drugs are scandalous. The most commonly abused drugs are steroids, ephedra, marijuana and cocaine. Most steroids and ephedra are illegal. They are usually sold illegally on the black market. Ephedra can be purchased at your local GNC or other places where White 2 sells dietary supplements. Steroids are usually smuggled like other illegal drugs. They cross the Mexican border illegally every day. Real Sports produced a special on the problems and issues that Mexico and the United States face with smugglers. They went to a pharmacy, ordered a large quantity and had them shipped back to the United States. Then they smuggled $75,000 worth of illegal drugs across the border. They used a secret camera to record everything that happened. The tape was shown to the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). According to the director, the only way to stop people at the border is to notify the authorities. Steroids are the drugs of first choice for athletes. I did a study on my high school football team. I would have discovered that ten percent of players admitted to using steroids. Their reasons were to give them an advantage or some advantage over other players. The most commonly used steroid was Andoorostin...... middle of paper ...... treatment heals without harming the brain. Most steroids have a long-term effect on the brain and the human body in general. This particular steroid had some side effects, but nothing out of the ordinary. It listed nausea, stomach pain, headaches and acne. Other steroids can cause blindness, high blood pressure and heart disease. I was very satisfied with the results obtained. I returned to the field in two months. I also didn't experience any of the side effects mentioned on the bottle. In conclusion, I think drugs should always be banned in sport. There is a certain degree to which drugs should be used legally. Some steroids should be legal, but the majority of them are dangerous to a person's body and only cause more damage. I think this is an argument that will take years to resolve and overcome. There should be absolutely no illegal drugs in sport. Marijuana and other drugs are illegal and drug abuse..
