Performance enhancing drugs in sport

Why not allow drug use in sports?

It isn’t just drugs that are improving athlete’s performances, sports technology, equipment and new training techniques are having an ever greater impact on the performances of athletes. As this happens it is less and less the athletes’ natural ability and motivation which gives them the edge, and more their equipment and training budget. Sports clothing such as body-hugging tops that can help players escape tackles in rugby and technologies such as streamlined, light weight racing bikes can give a team a winning margin. Why then should these athletes be banned from using substances that can help them to get more out of their training and practice?

Arguments for and against allowing the use of drugs in sport.
