Dan Le Batard, a newspaper sportswriter, notices that it is needed to think over our attitude to doping. Do we evaluate various sportspersons identically? Do we accept intake of steroids and other related remedies by athletes? What is our real attitude towards athletes that use steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs/procedures? Do we admire of those that have success in sports because of steroids and other related remedies?
Sometimes the society is responsible for doping of sportspersons. The society should be blamed for abnormal behavior of athletes. The society admires of abnormal things which occur in sports. The society admires of those that have ligaments removed from cadavers. The society admires of athletes that are involved in various abnormal actions: playing football with catheter, cutting fingers off, etc. Athletes do a lot in order to become prominent. They submit to different procedures which are not required for their health. Furthermore, they utilize such drugs and procedures that cause various health problems in them. Why do they do such things? The answer is obvious: they want to hear words of admiration; they desire to become prominent. So, they do it for physical performance. While sportspersons utilize remedies which cause significant harm in them, we support their actions through our praise, awards, money, etc.
In fact, the society is full of hypocrisy. While we are inclined to blame anabolic steroids and certain other forbidden drugs, we don’t condemn athletes that utilize different procedures for increase of their athletic performance. While we blame certain dopers, we admire of others. Why are certain medicines and procedures forbidden for enhancement of performance, while others are permitted? Let be reasonable! If you blame anabolic steroids, don’t support those who use alternatives to these preparations that have also ability to promote athletic performance. If you desire to see natural skills of athletes, don’t praise those that submit to different procedures for enhancement of athletic performance! Before you demonize or praise someone/something, think over this aspect! Don’t hurry and be honest!
