HAVE YOU HEARD OF PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS? WELL IT IS WHEN ATHLETES ARE USING PERFORMANCE - ENHANCING DRUGS TO HELP THEM GET BETTER. THE PERFORMANCE - ENHANCING DRUGS THAT THEY ARE USING TO HELP THEM GET BETTER AND I THINK IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE OTHER ATHLETES.
TECHNOLOGY CAN BE CONSIDERED CHEATING BECAUSE IT IS UNFAIR FOR OTHER ATHLETES. FIRST TECHNOLOGY CAN MAKE LESS ABLE AND ABLE ATHLETE’S BECOME FASTER THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE. SO THAT GIVES AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE TO OTHER ATHLETES THAT ARE NOT USING TECHNOLOGY.
TECHNOLOGY AND PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS USED TO BE IN THE OLYMPICS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE OLYMPICS. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN ATHLETES ARE DOING SPRINTS THEY HAVE SHOES THAT HAS SPIKES ON THEM TO GRIP INTO THE TRACKS WHICH CAN ALSO BE CALLED AS AERODYNAMICS.
NOW IN OUR DAYS PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT BANNING TECHNOLOGY IN THE OLYMPICS BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME AS PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUG.
TECHNOLOGY IS ALSO SEEN AS A PERFORMANCE - ENHANCING DRUGS BECAUSE IF ONE ATHLETE CAN’T AFFORD THE TECHNOLOGY AND ANOTHER CAN, THEN THE ATHLETE WITH THE TECHNOLOGY IS MORE LIKELY TO WIN SO THIS ISN’T FAIR JUST LIKE THE USE OF PERFORMANCE - ENHANCING DRUGS ARE NOT FAIR AS WELL.
SO I THINK THAT TECHNOLOGY SHOULD HAVE A LIMIT, SO THAT IT IS FAIR BETWEEN ALL OF THE COMPETING ATHLETES. FURTHERMORE WHY IS TECHNOLOGY ALLOWED IN THE OLYMPICS BUT PERFORMANCE - ENHANCING DRUGS IS NOT?
WELL THE REASON WHY I THINK TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE BANNED IS BECAUSE IT IS VERY VERY SIMILAR TO PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS.TECHNOLOGY HELPS ATHLETES TO BECOME FASTER THAN WHAT THEY ACTUALLY ARE, BUT TECHNOLOGY CAN ALSO HELP ATHLETES BY BEATING THE WORLD RECORDS.
SO WHY ISN’T PERFORMANCE - ENHANCING DRUGS ALLOWED IN THE OLYMPICS WHEN IT’S SIMILAR TO TECHNOLOGY.
