RE: The Sporting Taboo - Is Using Performance Enhancing Drugs Really Cheating?
IMHO, PEDs are only an issue because of the negative views on recreational drugs.
Can there be personal health sacrifices due to taking PEDs? Yes.
Do people have negative effects on personal health due to the intense training and rigor required for high performance sports? Yes.
Do people who never take PEDs have massive and heart-breaking injuries which ruin their careers? Yes.
I don't see a difference. We need to get over it. It's actually possible that some of these PEDs will help athletes heal injuries or protect versus the injuries in the first place.
Excellent points. In fact extreme training can take a huge (negative) toll on the body.
