It's a lovely day and I am excited to share with perspective on this precious and timely topic. With the recent development in the area of sports, it keeps in a position of deep thoughts owing to the fact that one of the things that rules the world is sport. I noticed that the highest paid people today are predominantly found around the corridor of sports. This is a concerned for me even though I don't so much like sports. I am quite sure that is not ordinary for most athletes to be sustained in their area of sporting activity without a particular enhancer.

Considering the theme and reality in the sphere of sports, many athletes hardly perform without an enhancer. In this post, I would share my understanding on the importance of performance enhanced drugs and it's negative effects as well. As it is said, whatever that has advantages Behind it is it's disadvantages as well.

advantages of performance enhanced drugs.

  • It helps to replace the worn out tissue. In the course of sports activities, some of the ligament and tissues tends to get worn out. With the enhancer drugs, it will help to facilitate the healing on time. For instance most footballers that get injured and with complications with muscle, these drugs really vitalize them and get them on track on time.
  • Performance enhancer helps athletes to do more tasks without getting exhausted on time. It gives more energy for more performance. I remembered when we were in secondary school. There was a young man who happened to be part of house then. He represented my house in the race for marathon. I decided to join them in the long distance race, I never knew that the guy was extra ordinary. When we started, I moved round the field for just five times and I fell down. This guy sustained the energy he started with till the finished. Later we were told that he took an enhancer before the race. He came first at the end of the race.
  • Some of the performance enhancer builds confidence in the life of the athlete even though I am a fan of that Sha. There are some that lack confidence but not when they take an enhancer.

There could be other advantages but I would like to share some of the disadvantages I have noticed about performance enhancer.

disadvantages

  • It will fasten the development of muscles instead of developing gradually. There is a young man in my village he was just twenty five years but when you see him, you can't believe that's his real age because his body has developed such that he look like a 35++ years old person. Performance enhancer can make you look older than your age. When I had conversations with him the last time we met, he regretted of all his actions and the consequences now is what he can't control again.
  • Performance enhancer could cause more anxiety. People that indulge in such are more anxious than others. They don't know whether the drugs will work or not. Because of this dilemma, it sets them in a critical situation of thought.
  • It will make one to over react. Some of these drugs have some side effects to the body system. If care is not taken it could lead to madness.

Conclusion

Looking at both the advantages and disadvantages of performance enhancer, I think there should be a regulatory body saddled with the responsibility of taking care of these athletes and checking on them to ensure the right thing is done. Personally I would like it to be removed completely in the sport arena so that athletes can perform naturally instead of depending on another enhancer.

There are regulatory bodies testing athletes often for doping and they are really doing a great job. They frown at athletes using hard drugs and anyone found is usually dealt with.

I also feel that drugs should be completely banned here because the first reason for this is that we cannot expect a fair competition in this because if a person is taking drugs and after that he participates in any competition then it is a political thing that his performance will be better than the other candidate due to which the other competitors will not be able to compete with him.

There are advantages and disadvantages of drug addiction. The best is that one should never play sports while intoxicated. It harms the health of the sportsman.
