Persuasive article PEDs in sports
One highly debated problem is sports is if performance enhancing drugs should be allowed. If I were a professional athlete I wouldn't use PEDs but I believe that players should be allowed to use them. I feel like using PEDs would take away that sense of accomplishment because the drugs are what would be giving athletes the ability to make big plays, not personal skill. People say that athletes can put themselves at risk by using PEDs but if they look into the health risks involved and decide that they want to use them than they should go for it. Also each team could hire a team doctor who knows how to manage PEDs and they could monitor the amounts the players are taking. If players used PEDs than it could make sports more entertaining. I can understand where people that say PEDs should not be allowed are coming from. Some say that PEDs could compromise the integrity of sports. A lot of players from the NFL and MLB have been suspended for PEDs the past few years so clearly they are not going to stop using so why not level the playing field and have someone manage what they are using. A lot of the players who get suspended come back and keep using the PEDs, this is not safe because they are given a huge physical advantage. They need to legalize them and have a specialist controlling the amounts taken in order to keep players safe.
