So, is performance enhancing drugs "cheating"?
,Think about this could you really call it cheating if everybody else had access to performance enhancing drugs. There is this notion of "fair play" and "the spirit of sport"... but as any competitor would know, gaining an edge by even as little as 1% is a risk many are willing to take. Why is it though that we focus so heavily on performance enhancing drugs when there is such thing as match fixing going on.
Conclusion
So in conclusion, performance enhancing drugs is a confronting topic but one which needs to be resolved, we need to create a safe environment for the athlete but also remember that all athletes want to be their very best, meaning most will turn to performance enhancing drugs. More and more undetectable drugs are being produced, so how long before every athlete is taking performance enhancing drugs without being caught. Hopefully this has proven useful, and you can now make your own educated opinion of drug use in sport and in particular bodybuilding.
