It adds a whole new element to the
Even when an athlete returns from an injury they can still be affected by it and play more tentatively on the field or court because of fear of re-injury (Brehm, 2008). The psychological effects of sports injuries all depend on how the athlete copes with the injury. Epidemiological reports of sports injury confirm a high incidence of injuries occurring at all levels of sport participation, ranging in severity from cuts and bruises to spinal cord injury. The psychosocial dynamics accompanying sport injury should be known to ensure psychological recovery, an important aspect in rehabilitating the injured athlete.

He explained with the point with the idea that sport is about creating extraordinary moments and drug taking would simply be cheating. He explained that drugs have long term effects and can cause excessive damage to the body. Olivier then stated a very good point for the argument against drug taking for sports: that sports will be all about money and not talent. The richest individuals will be better than the ones who cannot afford it. Both debaters used imagery to convey characters demonstrating either sides of the argument.
