It is no new news that people take different things to boost their performance.
Some take things to exterminate their stage fright and other phobia, some take things just to be high, some say it helps them concentrate more, while others take different things for muscle building and performance enhancement.
Though some people know the side effects of the intake of these harmful substance, they still go ahead to abuse it by taking it without a doctor's prescription.
This in-turn has fired back, resulting in many health casualties including liver issues, kidney issues and in some cases, mental health issues.
Some athletes take this substance in other to enhance their performance, thus, pushing their body way above its limit.
The pain from the training will be killed but the the effects that comes afterwards will remain. Not to talk of the damages it does to the liver and kidneys.
Personally, I do not fancy the use of artificial means to enhance your performance. I see it as cheating nature. I see them as fake. Just like how getting a BBL is.
I prefer natural. Let the body do its work by itself. Using drugs or anything to boost your performance will make the body become dependent on that substance. Failure to supply the body with the substance will lead to an inability to perform as usual. It may even bring some notable effects too.
Natural on the other hand has no effect. Training the body to be as good as it should be comes with no effects neither does it come with any drawbacks. The body rapidly adapts to any condition it finds itself.
If restricting the drugs will bring about a remedy to substance abuse, then i am in full support. But the ones that they have been restricting for years now, still finds it way back to circulation. Substance abusers and people who wants to make a fortune from selling illicit drugs will always look for a way to put these contrabands back in circulation.
Subjectively, I see the use of these drugs as performance boosters as cheating the system. However, even though the effects are reduced or removed, I would want it to still be restricted. Being natural is the best. That's how I see it.
Using such drugs actually takes away the fact that these athletes work hard for what they achieved. Though it is their time, the work is not theirs. Without that drug, they will not be able to put in that work for the duration of time they do. Taking drugs is like numbing the feeling of pain they feel. They should be able to train their body to adapt the pains that come with their training. Thy should be able to push their body go past its limit even without drugs. This here is real hard work. Taking these drugs are short routes. There's no need to cut corners. Be natural.
