Oh please ! ! ! Should we get Barry Bonds to answer this one? I would much rather watch a player with heart (someone who plays because they love the game) play than someone who looks like the jolly green giant, and doesn't really care about anything except the fame and records they can break.

 I don't think performance enhancing drugs should be used in any sport. They give a unfair advantage to the other team.
I always say this:
If you take steroids in HS you will never be good enough for college.
If you take steroids in college you will never be good enough for the pros
If you take steroids in the pros you will never be good enough for the Hall of Fame.

 Usage of drugs in any form is not permissible, that too especially in sports. Atheletes should be banned

 It is cheating when you use drugs to perform.

 Absolutely not! Aside from creating an unfair advantage and a bad example for kids, it diminishes the accomplishments of athletes. If all athletes took performance-enhancing drugs, none would excel in their sport.

How exciting would a sport be if all the athletes had the same abilities?

There was no excitement for me when McGwire broke the single season home run record, or when Bonds recently broke Aaron's home run record, because their performances are suspect. In light of the fact that Ruth, Maris and Aaron accomplished what they did without drugs, makes their feats even more exceptional.

 I disagree, drugs are never except able, except the ones doctors give you. If you play a sport, you should enjoy playing it, with your own body, not a body some pills, or powder, or tablets helped make.

 That is cheating. It's not fair. Besides drugs should be used nowhere.

 They should be banned from playing professional sport.

 No they shouldn't. It messes them up mentally, and in some cases, makes them more aggressive.

 NO, they should do it as an honest contest so all is fair.

 Wrong! What kind of example is that?...cheating as well!

 The corresponding associations (Olympics for example) or the other sports governing bodies should keep a check on all the sports persons

 I guess they fell off when they started drinking gatorade.

 No it's not appropriate for them, it's cheating themselves and their nations (when it is a team sport)

 One who uses drugs for performing better should be banned for life, so that others do not do the same

 That's totally cheating

 If you are using drugs then you are cheating. If it is team sport then you are cheating your team and your nation

 Playing sports should be performed with ones natural ability to withstand. There are too many complications when using drugs and its not natural or fair to the opponent(s). This is just another form of cheating.

 Using drugs hurts the body be it for sports or not. Drugs should not be allowed and random drug tests should be allowed in every sport and at every level of competition. Who cares if it is more interesting? Drugs are bad. This is the cold hard truth(Sorry, Interest or not it is still wrong!)

 The olympics arent about commercial value. They propose the idea of sportsmanship and effort. By using drugs, these athletes set a fake standard for everyone else and it destroys all those values.

ALso, we should take into account that by using these drugs, athletes will put themselves in danger.

My last point is that is sets a bad example for people who look up to them. " Take steroids and and be a winner! "

 Well as long as everyone is on the same drugs during the event that would be fine by me...just kidding!!!!!

As someone else mention before me -"drugs are for thugs" - do not bring them to sport unless you want to ruin your career ,health and your life!!!

And what kind of competition is that,where is the spirit ???

 Cheating is cheating. But as i suggested in a previous answer, perhaps they could have a seperate olympic games for drug enhanced athletes just as they have a special olympics. It wouldnt be cheating if the people they were competing against were drug users like themselves.

 No way! They are not doing it themselves! It is totally unfair and it is against the law!

 No, sports are a measure of you, not you and drugs that improve you without work.

 When players use drugs,they are say they are to week to try!

 Totally against it! If Babe Ruth, Hank Arron, Joe Montana, and the thousands of other great athletes could accomplish what they did without the juice then these other cheating s.o.b.'s should be able to as well. Assuming that the talent and heart are there!

The Patriot!

 NOOOOOOOO. Definitly not. If they r a professional athlete they should have to do it all by themselves.

 No way drugs are for thugs it is so cheep i dont wanna wath a high player.

 ARE YOU KIDding me.
NO~ I dont think anyone should use them athletic or not.

 It's unfair to other athletes who really do play well without the aid of drugs like steroids. It's cheating, as what the others have already said.

 They are cheats. But here is a novel idea. Why dont we have 3 olympic meetings . 1 the normal drug free olympics, 2 the special olympics, and 3 the drug enhanced olympics. The drug companies would be delighted to sponsor them. All those free drug trial volounteers.

 No, they shouldn't, it will ruin the spirit of sports!

 No! It is cheating and it is illegal! I am tired of celebrities getting away with stuff they shouldn,t!

 I'm AGAINST it! Wrong action!
