Doping in Sports
Mia: This is ridiculous! They’re going To suspend Eric Rodrigo for Doping.
Alex: From what I’ve read, he failed his Random drug test and they found Performance-enhancing drugs in his System.
Mia: But he’s one of the best players on the team. Without him, we won’t have a chance to get to the Playoffs.
Alex: He should have thought of that before he decided To cheat. I’m surprised they’re only suspending him for a few games. Last year, a player on another team was Banned for life from the sport and Stripped of his Championship titles.
Mia: In my opinion, they completely Overreacted and one of the best players in the game is off the field forever.
Alex: You don’t think that people who use Steroids and other Banned substances should be punished?
Mia: Not when the fans are the ones who really Pay the price.
Alex: So you’re in favor of allowing performance-enhancing drugs in sports?
Mia: Sure, why not? If everybody is doping, it Levels the playing field.
Alex: I am really glad you’re not the Commissioner!
