These drugs are illegal and can cause health problems. Also their users may become addicted to them.
Recreational drugs are among the substances that are banned in the Olympics and other international sporting events by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). In America, most professional sport leagues frown upon the use of recreational drugs. These athletes are subject to drug tests, and if they test positive for recreational drugs they can be suspended or baned from games.
Some people support the WADA in their role against athletes and recreational drugs. Others argue that the WADA and other agencies shouldn't monitor recreational drug use in athletes. These people say that these agencies should focus exclusively on performance-enhancing drugs.

i think it is crazy how a person would throw away all their fame and money to do some drugs.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting to see the many different drugs that people do for fun, it kind of confuses my though because they are just throwing away their lives.
ReplyDeleteGood Job Tom! I definitely feel that performance-enhancing drugs are a form of cheating. Athleticism abilities come from hard work and a goal in mind.
ReplyDeletei feel like some records are very unfair because people use drugs like steroids. how would an average person every be able to compete with another who uses steroids.
