Some states in our country do test for anabolic steroids. It should be a mandatory issue to be able to test not just high school football players, but all student athletes around the country for steroids. Even in some cases schools are testing their athletes for marijuana and opiates. These drugs are not even performance enhancing drugs. Schools should save their money on those drug tests and actually test for something that is performance-enhancing and that is also hurting these young athletes.
An anti-doping program in the U.S tries to prevent sport athlete from cheating; unfortunately, became less strict often blocked by unions and contracts. The athletic drug testing is simple and straightforward, but another way is “mandate” force the athlete to agree to participate and have to obey the rules of the sport. In today world there, a great challenge determining to detect enhancing drugs because continually new chemicals make it nearly detectable. For example, “gene doping” a newly created enhance drugs that athletes can inject making them build muscle, which essentially be non-detectable.

It is imperative that sports organizations, when hosting any school sponsored events, try to reduce the possibility of being held liable for injuries to participants by assessing possible risks and making the necessary adjustments. Various negligence cases have come about pertaining to injuries sustained during participation in sports. Pittman, Spengler and Young (2008) observed "sports are full of torts resulting in major concerns for recreation and sport managers at all levels and settings in of sport." Negligence, according to Nohr (2009), is defined as “conduct that falls below a reasonable standard, meaning the failure to exercise reasonable care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in the same or similar circumstances.” Negligent behaviors usually involves actions but Cotten and Wolohan (2013) adds that “negligence may be in the form of omission—something one should have done, but did not do; and commission—something that one did, but should not have done.” There are numerous ways in which organizations and their employees can be found liable if their

The sport that changes its rules to allow the use of performance enhancing drugs will be attacked as a freak show or worse.” In a way, the article contradicts itself, but at the same time shows a well thought out, balanced argument. The idea that sports should simply change their rules to adjust to changing times is one that rarely gets any thought, but this article makes a strong case for the rule makers to give some thought as to what exactly needs to change. “A Sporting Chance” brought up many points that go relatively unthought-of in the sports community.
We live in a country where everyone should be treated equally. Just because a student chooses to be athletic doesn’t mean he/she should use their athletic skills to get a free ride throughout their college years. A college student being exempt from classes is unfair to other students, it is their loss of education and not taking college so serious will later on bring consequences. Why go to college if you don't take the classes? Seems kind of pointless, most athletes don't go pro after college, so I why not get the full educational experience?
Everything comes down to a couple of minutes, why not insure that the body is running at peak performance, or even better? That question is exactly the reason that the international community created WADA, the world anti-doping association, in early 1999 (“Doping at the Olympics”). WADA’s job was to monitor and regulate drug use in sports and international competition. But are they doing enough? I believe that WADA isn’t going far enough.
There are many dissimilarities between both eras. In the early Olympics the swimming events were held in an open sea and competitors did not know what obstacles they were going to face till they faced them. However ever since 1908 in the London Olympics the swimming event has been held in a 100m swimming pool. Another difference is that the early Olympics did not allow woman to participate in the swimming events . On the other hand in the modern Olympics today women are allowed to compete in all swimming events and this has been since 1912.
Dillingham states that steroids are a form of cheating creating an unfair advantage to those who take them breaking the social contract athletes have implicitly agreed to: We are going to have a fair contest (Dillingham 91). GH abuse became an important issue in 1988 when Ben Johnson’s won the 100 m final at the Olympic Games in Seoul (Richard I.G. Holt 86). Society would soon become to consider the use of GH as a form of cheating. The use of performance enhancement drugs increases the amount of testosterone in the user’s body, which aide’s intense exercise training to build body mass at a
