Writing - Technology as a Performance Enhancing Drug

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.

Olympic 2016

Have you ever dream about going to the Olympics? Well did you know when the Olympics start well the Olympics started in 1896 they started to add more Olympics sport to the Olympics so there was swimming track race and more.If you want to always be come a track race runner well to be a track runner is to practice and practice to get better and better then you can time yourself at running.

Now have you want to be in the Olympics or an athlete it takes time to practice and get ready for the Olympics.And have you ever want to practice with you Olympics buddy it takes time to have a Olympic buddy to help you get ready when your times comes to going to the Olympics and vsing the teams.

Do you say to yourself when it come to winning and then it comes to losing well winning means like you feel so amazing inside of you that you are happy and you won and your family is so proud of you that you won.Then when it come to losing that just means that you tried and your family is still proud of you that you tried your best in the Olympics.

Have you ever ever ever Celebration in the Olympics like if people come 1st, 2nd or 3nd and they go all crazy and saying to there self that there so proud that they came 1st,2nd or 3nd and they go home and say they came 1st,2nd or 3nd place.
