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.
