Sports would have a total change as the athletes would become so good that they would be breaking all the records that were made by athletes thats did not take drugs. The reason i have chosen to do my report on drugs in sport is to allow the public of Australia know the extent of what is going, and also to inform them that drugs in sports occurs everywhere and even in Australia. .
Around Australia drugs in sports is happening every were. Drugs in sports occurs in all ages and in most levels of competition to some extent. Most people think that drugs in sports are about taking steroids to enhance there muscle growth so they can be stronger and faster, but this is untrue little do most people know athletes will take drugs for different reasons such as to over come injuries or to even enhance there performance, but there are many different drugs out there that do many different things. A weight lifter might take a drug to increase there strength but a professional target shooter might take drugs to calm there nerves so they can concentrate on there target. .
In my own a opinion i feel that if a athlete needs to take a drug to gain a edge on there competition they are simply cheating, If they are taking the drugs to over come injury, or taking the drugs knowing that they will have a advantage over the competition or simply taking a band substance they should be unable to compete.
Random drug testing occurs all the time,any athlete at any time in training or out of training may be asked to take a random drug test, so being a athlete you know the chances are very high that you will be asked to take a test. But still athletes are taking drugs even tho they know the trouble they can get into so why do they do this. What reasons do the athletes take the drugs? .
In a athletes career they might be tempted to take drugs for various reasons these reasons are.
The athlete feels the performance or progress is low and by taking drugs it will help them along.
