Allow doping in topsports
Each year, 30000+ athletes test positive for banned substances
The lure of succes, financial and social rewards creates an incentive to win at all costs
Benefits of cheating outweigh the penalties
Big rewards, little chance of getting caught
Penalty's should be higher to prevent cheating
Some take drugs to level the playing field
'Part of the job' in cycling
Russia banned for olympic games 2018
Many different drugs
Variated outcomes
Steroids: muscle mass, train harder, quick recover
EPO: produce and carry oxygen in blood -> muscles
Hard to detect
Regulating drugs might make sport more fair
Remove effects of genetic inequality
Undetectable drugs can do harm
Genetic influence is big
Physical advance -> headstart
Training and drive also key (environmental)
Regulating drugs not good
Competition becomes who has best drugs and takes the biggest dose
Not fair for athletes who wants to stay healthy and natural

https://theconversation.com/why-its-time-to-legalise-doping-in-athletics-46514
Around a third of medals won 2001-2012 -> athletes with suspicious values
New tests on samples 2005 and 2007 -> 28 now found positive
Estimate: 2% of tested athletes get caught
Clean athetes vs doped field
Accept disadvantage and financial losses or join cheaters
Zero-tolerance doesn't work
Bigger chanche to get caught, Benefit lower and reduce rewards -> maybe less cheating
Allow doping to certain height
Like hematocrit and testosterone
Good pleasures
Unfair to naturally gifted
