Been Tested?
Should professional athletes have to take yearly drug tests? Athletes in the USA get steroid tests every year. Why wouldn’t the test them for drugs to? Pro athletes shouldn’t and should take drug test for various reasons.
Statistics show that almost 20% of the players take performance enhancing drugs each year. If the NFL had monthly drug test the odds of players trying to enhance their performance through drugs are very slim. Players who use drugs in the NFL makes the game of football less in joy able knowing that people are cheating. The monthly drug test would also reflect on how the players treated their bodies. One player john Mcharthy died of taking drugs during this year. If drug tests are required they may save lives as well as athletes bodies.
The negatives to taking drug tests are that most drugs harm the human body. The enhance full drugs are way different than the harmful drugs. They have steroid checks every year. The drugs that people take are just stupid and won’t hurt anyone but themselves. It will reflect a bad image but it will only hurt them not us. The fans of the NFL will hate the stupid players that decided to ruin their bodies.
I believe that monthly drug tests should be enforced to any sport team or league. I think that monthly drug test will also save players. If we enforce the drug test we can stop cheating, death, and damage to the human bodies and the Sports Foundation.
