Quick facts🏅

  • Olympic athletes swear an oath to compete fairly and avoid doping.
  • Some athletes, despite knowing risks, still use banned substances to boost performance.
  • There's a debate on whether these substances should be legalized to level the playing field.

Olympic oath fair play's first line of defense

  • Athletes promise to
    • Follow their sport's rules.
    • Avoid doping or drug-enhanced performance.
  • This oath isn't legally binding but it's a pact among athletes, governing bodies, and fans for ethical gameplay.

🌍 Real World Example: Imagine having a gentleman's agreement with your friend to not peek while playing hide and seek. It’s not a law, but it’s a promise to play fair!

Dangers of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs)

  • Some non-nutritional ergogenic aids improve performance.
  • However, they can cause health issues, even fatal ones.

🌍 Real World Example: Imagine a car with a special fuel that makes it super-fast, but using it might cause the car to explode any time. Risky, right?

The chain reaction of using PEDs

  • Athletes using PEDs pressurize others to do the same to stay competitive.
  • This can endanger the health of others due to the ripple effect.

🌍 Real World Example: Remember the domino effect? One domino falls and makes all others fall too. One athlete doping can influence many others to do the same.
