A
Competition in the Olympics should be between athletes who use their own strength or speed. If some athletes don't follow the rules, it ruins the fun for everyone connected with the game. It also gives an extremely unfair advantage to athletes using drugs. So I think athletes should be tested for drugs.
—Jim from Atlanta
Drug use among top athletes has long been a problem. Without drug tests, the Olympics would be about who uses the most drugs, not who trains the hardest and has the most athletic skills. Also drugs do harm to people's health and sometimes even kill people.
—David from Houston
Why should athletes be allowed to compete when it's not really they who are actually competing? It's the drugs that do all the work. Athletes_who_use_drugs_are_like_runners_with _roller_skates. It's cheating and irresponsible, which must be strictly forbidden. It's unfair to other competitors who don't use drugs.
—Bruce from Chicago
Most sports athletes are held to a standard of being drugfree. Olympians should not be held any differently. They take part in highly competitive sports and win medals for their country. Testing the athletes for drugs must be done in every country and every sport. No drug test would be unfair to athletes who don't use drugs.
—Sam from Los Angeles
Although popular opinion is against athletes' using drugs, I believe drugs do help make the Olympic sports more wonderful. I enjoy seeing human beings achieving things that couldn't be done with normal conditioning. I enjoy seeing stronger, faster and longer performances by making good use of drugs. I don't see the necessity of drug tests.
—Jack from New York
