Do you support ‘Dope’ test being conducted on sportspersons participating in a prestigious athletic meet? Give three reasons in support of your answer.

Yes. The ‘Dope’ test must be conducted on sportsperson participating in a prestigious athletic meet.

This test is done to identify the presence of any drug in the bloodstream of the sportsperson. Drugs have a potent stimulating action on CNS, producing a sense of euphoria and increased energy which will affect the performance of the sportsperson.


The use of drugs in sports should not be allowed as:


1. they increase muscle strength


2. promote aggressiveness


3. increase athletic performance


because of the above reasons use of drugs should be banned for participants as it would be unfair on the part of other participants.
