Detractors will argue that steroids and doping can pose health risks to the athletes involved, but athletes undertake serious health risks by simply walking onto the field or straddling a bike. Just last year, a media car ran Johnny Hoogerland off the road during the Tour de France, sending him headlong into barbed wire. Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann famously had his leg broken and career ended mid-game, and the devastating long term effects of concussions are rapidly becoming apparent.

Claim:
Performance enhancing drugs are used despite the possible health risks because the athlete values his or her performance over the side effects.

Claim:
The athletic meritocracy argument also provides good reason for maintaining the ban on PEDs. In the current world of sport, PEDs make athletic success dependent on such arbitrary factors as access to effective pharmaceuticals and favorable physiological response to these drugs, neither of which is relevant to athletic excellence. The existence of other unfair determinants of athletic success--especially genetic differences--does not diminish the unfairness of the equalities that PEDs cause.

Of 52 German athletes given anabolic steroids during the 1970's and 1980's who were examined in a 2007 study, one quarter got some form of cancer, one third reported thoughts or attempts of suicide, and the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth was 32 times higher than in the normal German population.

If you take performance enhancing drugs, you would have a far greater chance of developing some health issue in the future.]]> 2016-12-23 04:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/job_roloff035/lbzitdgyyeg1/wish/144726331 job_roloff035 https://padlet.com/job_roloff035/lbzitdgyyeg1/wish/144726404

Claim:
"In creating unfair advantages, doping distorts the level playing field in sporting competition. With higher stakes involved, such distortions create negative externalities not only on the individual level (lasting health damages, for example) but also frictions on the aggregate level (such as loss of media interest) and erode the principle of sports."
