Performance-Enhancing Substances

Performance-Enhancing Substances No one likes a "cheater!" Why should it be fair for people to take performance-enhancing substances? There is no reason that a person should be allowed to take any kind of supplement that increases his or her ability without any work involved. It is extremely unfair to the hard working athletes who exercise and train to stay competitive. It is also unfair to the users of these supplements. They are enhancing their abilities …

…to other long-term illnesses that some may even die from. Is it really worth a life to immorally enhance your ability to lose weight, get stronger, or be more energetic? Although certain supplements provide good short-term effects, it isn't worth taking in the long run. And taking them would compromise the heart and fairness of any sport. All possibly harmful supplements should be banned from public use. This would keep everyone safe and everything fair.
