Recently, professional athletes have more tendency toward utilizing forbidden energizing drug to improve their efficiency. Since there are various outcomes as the result of this phenomenon, there are a number of actions that should be taken by governments and also other related organizations to address this issue.
Making use of illegal drugs for improving efficiency by sportsmen can cause several issues. Firstly, although such drugs can boost our body performance during the competition, they can cause serious problems for our health such as heart attack, cancer and even worse death. For instance, Beito Abbaspour, one of the greatest Iranian body builders, passed away because of consuming prohibited energizing medicines. Secondly, there are strict punishments when it reveals that someone has used illegal drugs. The strictest one is to be banned from participating in any official competitions for a long while or maybe life-long which can destroy an athlete’s professional future. Finally, being convicted due to using such drugs can question all previous honors that an athlete achieved before. Moreover, I believe a championship is worth when you compete with your rivals in an equal situation without cheating. Otherwise, you will always have a fight and struggle inside yourself in your loneliness.
There are numerous actions that can either reduce or prevent usage of unauthorized drugs. Firstly, governments and international organizations must impose rigid laws to control the process of producing and supplying such medicines in order to make accessibility to these kinds of medicines harder. Secondly, world anti-doping agencies should take medical tests from athletes periodically instead of doing such measures only during the competitions to engender a feeling of fear inside athletes that they are always under control. Finally, I believe the most effective approach is promoting the culture of not using such drugs instead of always controlling and this can be achieved by holding educational workshops for sport community.
In conclusion, there are several negative impacts on athletes who are using unauthorized drugs especially on their health. To prevent usage incensement of such drugs, both government and other international organizations can introduce stricter controlling rules and also inform athletes of consequences of using such drugs.
