In theory yes, if doping was allowed then doctors should keep a close watch on the athletes and the reactions they have to the medicines they take to improve their performance, but at the same time it is not as if we can predict perfectly what will be the effects on a person after taking a drug, while at the same time some heart conditions are very difficult you detect, and when we add that many athletes will probably take drugs on their own without consulting their doctors then this could create the perfect storm for a lot of accidents to happen.
As long as it is under the supervision of a doctor and also meets the standards for use and the correct dosage, doping can be very useful and can even really have an extraordinary effect on the body of every athlete, but yes, if we talk in the long term, no matter how good the use of doping for the long term is still very dangerous for health and also how the internal organs of humans work.
If I may suggest that it is better that there are no Olympiads that allow doping users because apart from being detrimental to health in the long term it can also increase the risk of addiction to the use of doping.

My hope is that during this Olympics event no one will allow doping users and so on, I hope that this will continue to happen, so that the next generation of athletes does not become dependent on permissible doping.

I think it is totally irresponsible to promote performance enhancing drugs. I have seen what this does to young people and it is devastating for the people who use this. I love school rugby and some children use performance enhancing drugs at a very young age to boost them to be better than other kids. (Everyone wants to play for the A-team)

Now the problem with this is the fact that these "drug" kids are much stronger and bigger than the other kids in their own age class. There has been instances where other "normal" kids got serious neck injuries, after being tackled by the "steroid" kids.

These steroids also increase aggression and it only takes something small to trigger a massive outburst and fights on and off the field. So, if they do this professionally in an Olympic Games, then kids will accept it as the norm.  Angry

Besides that, doctors must also be wary of those who can easily get these drugs on the free market. Maybe the people who tried the drugs discovered something that made them want to continue taking them. And it impacts one's health in the long term, especially if there is no further research on the effects of these drugs on one's health. But for athletes, it will affect their health too because they are the first to use these drugs so doctors and researchers must routinely check the health of athletes.
This will affect the entire world by making the drugs legal because of the this type of Olympic Games.By this the game made the drugs to free flow in the market.It may be different one,but this is hard to apply on the Olympic games.Most of the country think the Olympic as their life time achievement.So this type of the Olympic will spoil the name of the Olympic games.Drugs will be available for free world wide after this Olympic games.Then anyone can participate using the drugs in Olympic games.Because most probably this type of Olympic was against the drug controlling.
First of all, I don't believe that there will be actual Olympic Games and that taking drugs for players will be allowed openly and they will let the public know about it because of the love that the public has for the Olympic Games and the number of fans there are will all be heartbroken and might even stop watching them anymore, so the probability is that this is just a rumor and if not, it's not the Olympic Games but maybe some other game misusing the name.

And, even if there are some kinds of games that are allowing the usage of drugs for their players, the players that might break any record of those players that have made the records in official Olympic Games should not be considered and accepted because this is just like cheating to achieve something.

I am of the opinion that all governments and organizers of events such as the Olympic Games and other sporting events must take very tough measures against drug use, which is why it is cheating and greatly harms competition, so let's think of it this way: an athlete becomes 1 year trained every day, he wakes up very early, trains his body a lot, after many exercises the guy still has to go to work, he stops having fun, he follows a very disciplined life in order to keep his physique in good shape and power run a lot, then the day of the competition arrives, after he has positioned himself alongside many other athletes, he is left thinking that he is in front of colleagues who have also put in a lot of effort throughout the year

The government and organizers are huge related to the society growth at the most.So they won't allow the drug to reach their society and most important to the younger generation.The most populated country like China,India was most addicted to the drugs,their was the huge politics behind this.Because the high population is enough for the country development.But the China population was managed by the governmet.But the Indian government fail to manage their citizen mostly from the drink and the drugs.My opinion it may be the reason for that country to be the developing coutry.In US the economy was good and people also know the control of the drug,it was one of the reason for the US Economy always upward.

when the race starts he starts to run a lot but he can't win the race, although he lost the race he feels proud for having competed against great athletes, so days later he sees on tv that the winner of the race used drugs to be able to run a lot , learns that the winner of the race did not train at all, he just relied on drugs to win the races. at this time the guy who spent the year training a lot, living a disciplined life, he'll get irritated, that's not fair, that's why it's necessary to punish very severely all athletes who consume drugs in order to have a good performance

The drug consumed people are more powerful as compared to the normal,Since the drugs direct connect with the nervous system of the body.It's most important one by the Olympic committee to find the drug consumed people to allow the real athlete to win the game and to avoid of  unjustice to the Olympic.The drug consume people may win the game without any practice and it will not a good win at all.It also affect the gambler who bet on the skill of the player.

The Olympics is the peak where athletes can get a good reputation and bring out their best to become world-class athletes. And if they use drugs, they may be able to miss the best achievements of other athletes but it still doesn't come from pure ability because drugs help to produce higher abilities. And when they get it, the government can legalize drugs for the general public, where people will be hypnotized to use these drugs to get better self-abilities than before. And yes, all sports associations should ban these doping-like drugs because they are not in line with or against the spirit of sport.

this kind of cheating should not be tolerated, imagine how disappointed fans are when they find out that that athlete they admired and respected because he ran a lot and won a lot was a big cheater, it leaves fans with the thought that the athlete did to them donkeys, they tricked them

And this happens because athletes take their bodies to the utmost limits, and if they have some unknown disease or condition then they can literally drop dead on the field, an image we have unfortunately see many times during our lives, so if doping was allowed the number of cases like that will increase dramatically, as in their attempts to be the very best they can be athletes will push the limits of their bodies and develop all kind of short and long term diseases.
Aren't there medical checks before such drugs are taken? If not, the management should be responsible for what happens to the players if there is a reaction or something due to the drug taken to enhance the player's abilities, because they are the ones who should be checking all these things if they are allowing and making their players take the drugs so that they can perform much better than their normal selves and that they manage to win the games.

Though I am totally against this thing of allowing players to openly use ability-enhancing drugs only to make the games more interesting, I still feel if something happens to the players, the management should be taken responsible for that since they should do medical check-ups before allowing a player to take drugs.
In theory yes, if doping was allowed then doctors should keep a close watch on the athletes and the reactions they have to the medicines they take to improve their performance, but at the same time it is not as if we can predict perfectly what will be the effects on a person after taking a drug, while at the same time some heart conditions are very difficult you detect, and when we add that many athletes will probably take drugs on their own without consulting their doctors then this could create the perfect storm for a lot of accidents to happen.

Well, in that you are absolutely right, with the amount of medications that there are, it is very likely that a person who takes them without knowing how their body is internally, does not know what side effect it brings, sometimes there are people who self-edit and they do better. al, when it comes to performance enhancing drugs, the heart is the one that sets the tone, we can't take something that can speed it up more than normal, there are different types of hearts, the other day I started talking to a cycling coach He told me that he had to include a common athlete that we knew, but according to what he said, it is that when they did the medical exams his heart was not adequate, that is, he did not have the heart to be a cyclist.

When he told the mutual friend, he told him to make an exception, that he was going to train, and since my friend is not a bad person, despite everything he did, he began to train him, but when he left with the team in the peloton, his performance in particular started to go down, he was not at the level, even though he lasted at least 6 months training, he always kept up, he choked a lot, he could not be at the level of the big climbs that yes, my friend really did not he could cope with the level that others had and that frustrated him but he ended up accepting that even the type of cyclist's heart has very particular characteristics, now if a person like that, who has those foods or that particular condition, if you dope? what would happen ? It would endanger his life, and that's what drugs do.

In addition to where the idea of legalizing drugs or doping in the Olympic Games came from , which is something so Sacred, so clean in sport , whoever comes to the Olympic Games is because they have been working on it all their lives , I see that as something so unique , so hard to achieve , because any athlete is not capable of doing everything so perfectly to come to represent their Country , and if they Legalize doping then anyone who starts practicing a sport will arrive easily because the Simple fact of Drugs make the body do things that it normally can't sometimes do.

Doping is also different, and those who use it always know a few ways to bypass checks.
I remember the Beijing Olympics where a Chinese weightlifter set a world record, and then in her next attempt she added 2.5 kg and broke her own world record so easy that looks like it was an ordinar thing and then she added another 2.5 kg and broke the world record again. It looks like insane cause ordinar people just can't do that.
There were plenty of such performances on that and other olympic games and not only in weightlifting. For example, in artistic gymnastics, where the legs of young 14-15 year old female athletes are 2-3 times bigger than the legs of an adult and there is no need to talk about training and proper nutrition cause this is lie.

You can watch footage from the Olympics of the 30-50s of the last century and evaluate how athletes looked then. Without doping you can not constantly update records, anyone who has done something serious in life knows that the body has its own limit, above which without doping you can not overcome.
Another aspect which helps to break records is the new technology available now, years ago I watched a documentary that evaluated the differences between the shoes, track and other stuff between Usain Bolt and Jesse Owens and when you took away those differences into account Usain Bolt could beat Jesse Owens by the smallest margin possible if they were both running on the current conditions, with Owens most likely beating Bolt if they were running with the gear and conditions Owens had to face, so all in all when it comes to this discipline there has not been any improvement on performance at all and it is the technology which allows records to be broken.

Some conditions (even purely legal sports practise with extended exercise etc.) I've seen in recent sport careers have led to premature death and also health issues after leaving the game.  It is relevant then, if you are worse off within 10 or 20 years then it cost more then you believed it would.  For most people drug use isnt worth it, we use drugs in hospitals and medicine because its required but for sport or entertainment the answer is quite clear that its not a risk worth taking quite often thats become obvious.

personally, as a person who likes sports, I am curious about what this new sporting event that allows the usage of performance-enhancement drugs could lead to.


I believe the organizer of this new olympic games is the real doped. I doubt world record will acknowledge a milestone achievement made by someone under the influence of synthetic strength booster. This kind of games is not healthy and promotes sports that will have a side effect on human body. I’m afraid that in worst case scenario, There might be some casualty here since people will do anything just to win even if they will take more drugs just get more strength without considering the risk to the body.

Very intriguing announcement but will they be acknowledge?

To be honest, I think the Olympians are all doping, secretly, one way or another. They might be using drugs which are hard to detect or perhaps they flush the drugs out of their system before a major sporting event, so that their doping isn't detected.

It is a bit sad to see , since their fans cheer for them and believe in them so much... An honorable win is worth less than a shiny medal these days.

Now we have gotten to the point when the curtain falls and the charade is laid bare. What is next? The public encouragement to destroy young Olympians bodies, just so they can win a doping medal?

I don't think that anyone would ever take this seriously, like this could never replace the traditional Olympics.  If you're American ( or better stated if you live in the United States) then you're likely familiar with the MLB (major league baseball) "steroid era".  This is where many players such as Barry Bonds, Mark MacGuire, Sammy Sosa etc are all known "cheaters" who took steroids.  Barry Bonds broke the single season homerun record during this time frame and it's highly disputed now as if it's really the record or not.  Many of us joke that MLB should bring back steroids because it did in fact make the game more exciting!  That said, they are a health risk and I don't see any serious professional sports outlet taking this seriously, it's also against the law in most places.

Speaking about on those side effects on taking up some drug. Here's some list to those who died up.

1967: Cyclist Tom Simpson dies after Tour de France
https://www.history.com/news/doping-scandals-through-history-list

The rest of the articles is really that pertaining about those doping on said competition on which these are been dated on 90's basing up on the article on which means
that its been a while for it to be applied but i dont know if this one is still that been allowed or had been prohibited but in overall then its not really that
recommended on doing so. I do agree into those words about those playing stupid games, winning stupid prizes on which this would really be the
case or situation that would really be ending up.

That's the caveat to these kind of events, you're never sure what type of performance enhancing drugs they are taking and even if they set up an official board of legal PEDs to use you can't be certain that these athlete's not going to take illegal ones, since they are all doping anyway so what difference would it make if they don't use illegal ones, and even if they did call out people who are found to use banned PEDs what are they going to do? Punish them? They literally set up an olympics where doping is legal and now they are punishing people cause the dopes they use are not what they want, let that sink in.

This is why I'm so against these types of tournaments, they don't uphold the values and the principles that they derived their rendition of their tournament from, and it's already controversial and even more convoluted that these stuff is a headache just talking about.

The management shouldn't allow this because it ruins the reputation of their business and the image of the olympic games. These athletes aren't a good example especially to young aspirants who adolizes the sports. No sponsors will support this type lf olympic and bettors shouldn't support it either since they are promoting drugs and other illegal activities.
Any supporters or sponsors who will suport them will also have their reputations ruined so they should be skeptical and wise even if it could help them make money. I hope these athletes would change their mind as early as possible as it might affect their whole profession negatively.
Athletes' careers will be wrecked if they remain hidden while using these substances, which is preferable in some cases but not in sports. Taking substances in order to improve one's ability to do well on the track is completely prohibited. While certain authorities may have deemed it legal, I am opposed to it since not all athletes can endure the strong influence of these drugs when they begin to work on the body. We all enjoy sports, but seeing an athlete injecting drugs quietly should result in permanent disqualification and ban. Most of these drugs might induce the victim to become a drug addict, which is a very poor sign of the individual in question.
Just because you want popularity and sacrifice your future is not really worth it.
Like you said it will only keep you in shape for a while but after dependence it will be harmful to the athlete's health.
On the other hand we also know a lot of athletes who stumble over cases like this which resulted in their careers being destroyed. in this case a real example might be Lance Armstrong who made his career destroyed because of the doping that was done so in this case rather than destroying careers and making the body damaged it would be better if something like that was not done for athletes.
That would really be giving out that lifetime kind of regret just because you are really that aiming on getting that popularity and fame on which on the time that your body or health would be mainly affected then it would
surely be having the toll on which it would be resulting on destroying your career. Somewhat i cant blame out on why athletes would really be going into this option because who doesnt really want on being known or top athlete on beating up those regular ones who hadnt been able to dope? Sacrificing your career and your health isnt something that would really be worth on doing so. Why they cant really just base up on their own capacity without the needing of doping? Sometimes people do really goes into a certain situation for you to have that kind of option because of aiming high but well its a personal choice and for you that someone
who is engaging on this one do should really know about the risks.
With all the pressure to succeed and be seen, isn't it a weird echo chamber? They're not seeking for a shortcut, but a strategy to survive severe competition.

Consider athletes' diverse resources and possibilities. Ability alone? Everyone wonders...

As you said, it's a personal decision. Choices have consequences. Athletes who take this danger must be prepared. The saying, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes," may apply here.

So I came across a video on youtube about someone planning on creating a new type of Olympic games called "the Enhanced Games" to rival the Olympic games. In this version of "Olympic games", performance-enhancement drugs that are usually prohibited to be used by the athletes competing in the Olympic Games will be allowed to be used.

the president of "the Enhanced Games" believes that this competition could unlock the athlete's true potential and will obliterate all the world record that has been set in the Olympic games. from what I have read in an article, they are planning on launching this event next year in December.

now, the reason why I post this here is because since a lot of sports bettors here love sports I am curious about what you guys think about it and whether this would be a new sporting event that will be enjoyed by sports betting enthusiasts.

personally, as a person who likes sports, I am curious about what this new sporting event that allows the usage of performance-enhancement drugs could lead to.

I don't think this should be considered in the first place, infact people should start WHO should kick against this because it's drug abuse and doesn't promotes fairness in sports, giving upper hands to cheaters, making the efforts of those who work hard to merit their medals seem like a waste, this could also promote drug abuse because most teenagers around the world would out of ignorance want to use drugs to enhance themselves as well.

 If an athlete feel they have full potential and would want to unlock it, then they should  embark on serious trainings and exercises that could help them increase their level of performance, because many athletes could become addicted and abuse the drugs after the competition, they should also consider the effect this drugs could cause to the health of athletes,it could cause damages to their organs or a mental health disorder as well as Anxiety, insomnia, stroke, etc regular use of drugs by athletes could also make them aggressive so it shouldn't be considered.
In fact, that would be the easy path for many, so it is not the idea, I also consider that the Olympic Games are very sacred, it is one of the great events that must be respected, what I think of this is that this should not be allowed under no circumstances, also athletes would not have a lot of training, psychotropic substances can make them generate a lot of strength, gain incredible motivation, this is what drugs can do to an athlete, so it is better to do these things the perops in a way natural and all the motivation must be individual and with their own effort, the Olympic Games cannot be tarnished and even less with doping.

Doping should always be something very punishable, not only in the Olympic Games but everywhere and under any law, it should not be allowed, the damage caused by drugs is very strong, drugs kill, they make the person fall into their worst state, their use cannot be allowed in sports, sports are clean and must always remain clean, this should not be tarnished either, things in the world are changing very drastically, the things that were previously considered bad and harmful now if they are considered to be good, necessary, free, a lot of freedom, there are many things that I do not agree with, because there are things that should always be respected, I am someone who respects everything related to religions, politics, sports, because I know that there must be rules for it and that is something that all humanity must respect.

Most of us are in the presence of children, how many of us children do not dream of being in the Olympics? in any sport representing our country, and when we saw cases of doping it was well punished and the athlete was banned and with good reason, because they are things that should not be allowed.

Some conditions (even purely legal sports practise with extended exercise etc.) I've seen in recent sport careers have led to premature death and also health issues after leaving the game.  It is relevant then, if you are worse off within 10 or 20 years then it cost more then you believed it would.  For most people drug use isnt worth it, we use drugs in hospitals and medicine because its required but for sport or entertainment the answer is quite clear that its not a risk worth taking quite often thats become obvious.
And this happens because athletes take their bodies to the utmost limits, and if they have some unknown disease or condition then they can literally drop dead on the field, an image we have unfortunately see many times during our lives, so if doping was allowed the number of cases like that will increase dramatically, as in their attempts to be the very best they can be athletes will push the limits of their bodies and develop all kind of short and long term diseases.
Aren't there medical checks before such drugs are taken? If not, the management should be responsible for what happens to the players if there is a reaction or something due to the drug taken to enhance the player's abilities, because they are the ones who should be checking all these things if they are allowing and making their players take the drugs so that they can perform much better than their normal selves and that they manage to win the games.

Though I am totally against this thing of allowing players to openly use ability-enhancing drugs only to make the games more interesting, I still feel if something happens to the players, the management should be taken responsible for that since they should do medical check-ups before allowing a player to take drugs.
