Savulescu refutes the idea that children will be fostered to take PEDs . Secondly , Creaney ,and Vondy assert that the reason for their opposition to allowing sports doping is a moral issue . In addition, if the "anti-doping programme" did not exist, the utilization of PEDs will spread increasingly and filter profoundly in the community.  Creaney and Vondy claim that when PEDs are legal for the top professional sport , they will alter the value of sport in society's perception.  Moreover, they refute the idea of ineffective PEDs's forbiddance .

synthesis

          
          Although some people assert that performance - enhancing drugs should  be eliminated from sports altogether, others believe that these drugs can beneficial to the athletes. Some athletes conveyed that the PEDs had a negative effect on their health. As Goodman (2012) reports that " as I have listened to fighters discussing their performance-enhancing drug use, along with their accompanying heart, kidney, liver, bone, brain, and psychiatric ailments." It is evident that PEDs can harm athletes who use them. On other hand, the PEDs can be beneficial to some athletes. Tillery (2013) states that " If properly regulated, H.G.H. Potentially reverse the effects of jet lag, thus allowing athletes to play longer and stronger." This suggests that if athletes take the performance -enhancing drugs in moderation, their performance will improve. It is apparent that many people are worried about the hazards of PEDs, in any case, the topic is important for discussion.
