Alcohol are against the Rules
‘A pill
to make you numb. A pill to make you dumb. A pill to make you anybody else. But
all the Drugs in this world won't save you from being yourself’
More and more, our society views winning as
something more important than the game itself. Success in competition brings
status, popularity and fame, not to mention college scholarships. Today's
athletes are looking for an advantage over the competition that will help make
them winners. Unfortunately, the adolescents of today are caught up in this
high stakes competition frenzy. Currently, there are more than 100+ Alcohol
Rehabilitation Center in Pune fully functioning. This Alcohol
Rehabilitation Center in Pune every year intake at least around 5000 people,
consuming drugs, as well as the Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in Pune stated
that many of them have also been in jail for drug peddling and selling.
Performance
enhancing drugs can be regarded in four classes: androstenedione, creative,
anabolic steroids, and ephedra alkaloids.
Drugs had
long been used to enhance performance, explained Dr Linder. For example,
anabolic steroids had been used to increase aggressiveness during the 1939-45
world war..
Stimulants
were used to induce euphoria, increase alertness and to decrease perceptions of
fatigue.
Caffeine
was a proven performance-enhancer, although it required plasma levels of more
than 12mg per ml, the equivalent of a 1000mg dose in three hours.
Nicotine
was historically believed to improve performance and he was expecting to find
an athlete wearing multiple nicotine patches one day.
Depressants
had also found a place in sport. Alcohol and marijuana caused relaxation and
increased confidence but generally impaired performance.
So is
cheating here to stay? Drugs are against the rules. But we define the rules of
sport. If we made drugs legal and freely available, there would be no cheating.
The World
Anti-Doping Agency code declares a drug illegal if it is performance enhancing,
if it is a health risk, or if it violates the “spirit of sport”. These are all
physiological side effects of performance increasing drugs:
● hypertension (EPO/hGH)
● blood cancers/leukemia (EPO/hGH)
● Anemia (EPO)
● strokes (EPO)
● heart attacks
● Pulmonary embolism (EPO)
● feminization (HCG)
● thyroid problems (hGH)
So now choosing these drugs depends upon you
whether to win competition with your hard work of taking some random stuff into
your body
This drug
abuse by the young is fostered by the selfish unthinking adults, who bring in
drugs to the country and then sell them at different areas near school,
colleges etc where it is easily approachable to the youth. These are sold in
areas where children go in large numbers. These places are easily accessible to
the young and the business of the adult’s prospering at the cost of the young
lives. It is a very sad state of our society when adults themselves serve
poison to their young. It is the reprobate adults who are responsible for the
destruction of the destinies of the young and in turn killing our budding
generation. It reaches a stage where this would rather become more than
alternative desires in life and therefore the person begins to believe that their
survival depends on those drugs.
