Summary
The debate over athletes' use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs has taken on newfound urgency in recent years with more and more revelations of widespread use throughout the sports world. Are these athletes breaking the rules for an unfair advantage over others? Are they endangering their own health, and that of younger athletes encouraged to follow suit? Or is it hypocritical for society to disdain drug use for sports, when it encourages consumers to seek drugs to treat all sorts of ailments and conditions? Has the risk to athletes been overstated? Should we accept performance-enhancing drugs in competitive sports?
