Should Performance Enhancing Drugs In Sports Be Banned
I strongly believe that the use of performance enhancing drugs in sport should continue to be banned.

Yet, both young and experienced athletes still are willing to take the risks to be the best. The desire to be the best, the knowledge that PED’s are the only way to be the best and the fact that drug tests can be fooled so easily like Mike Tyson’s ‘Whizzer’ all have athlete’s screaming for performance enhancing
