Sport Cheating
political
the government can sometimes get involved with the sport cheating as we have covered in the economical section, but their are some other things the government does instead of paying people off.
sometimes the government tricks athletes into taking peds. A great example is when east germany tricked shot putter Heidi Krieger into taking steroids. Every day at training she was given a little blue pill and was told it was vitamins. She didn't notice this but the trainer was giving her steroids. the government was getting tones of trainers to do this to their athletes.
sometimes the government pays people to take drugs and this has happens several times a some memorable times are the Chinese swimmer, and more recently lots of Russians athletes got banned from the Olympics because of the government paying them to cheat.
Health
In this case the player is the consumer and if they choose to take P.E.D’s (Performance Enhancing Drugs) it can lead to serious problems in the future. Some drugs can increase the likelihood and growth of cancer which is really bad.
\In men it can lead to: testicle shrinking, more prominent breasts and infertilization.
In women it can lead to: a lower/deeper voice, inconsistent and missed periods and major hair loss.
Taking steroids can also enlarge the wrong muscles including your heart which can lead to complications in the future. The reason this happens is because peds use testosterone which naturally comes from the testicals. Testosterone is responsible for muscle growth and the pituitary gland tells you if you need more or less of it. If you force more in your body it will lead to all these issues I have covered.
personal
for personal I think that sport cheating is bad, here is a couple of reasons why
-
it can make some huge rules that are game changing, this is a result of sport cheating
it can badly injure players, an example is soccer players would put metal toes in their boots to break players shins, literally

-
when players decide to cheat they can get a huge economical boost out of cheating. this happens through a couple of different ways.
-
firstly they can be paid to cheat by the government and or other sources. some very memorable times that this was happening is when Russia,China and East Germany (now know as Germany) have all paid or tricked athletes cheat. this has resulted in bans from many olympics and other major sporting events or all countries. it has also been know that people have paid to purposely lose/throw games for money.
another way players can make a profit from cheating is from the form of cheating not being detected by the watchdogs of that sport. if the cheating is undetected it can give the athlete a huge pay boost because of their increased performance/abilities.
