PED Research Papers

A PED or a performance enhancing drug is a drug which helps the user to improve on any form of activity performance. Athletes and bodybuilders use PED’s to enhance their performance. There are many types of PEDs, one is the anabolic drug. It is the most common and it is to build up muscle. They are steroids, hormones, and human growth hormone. The effects are giving the user extra strength, speed, and increases their size. It can be detected by a urine sample from the user. The side effects are severe acne, oily skin, hair loss, liver disease, liver tumors and cysts, kidney disease, heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, altered moods, irritability, increased aggression, depression or feeling suicidal, alterations in cholesterol and other blood

The ethic opinions of PED is mostly one side for the public but split in expert side. The public ethic opinion is against athletes and people using PEDs because it is considered cheating in the public eyes. PED does enhance the user to improve in any form of activity performance.

People wouldn’t respect the person who won and used PED and would believe that the person who came in second place should’ve won instead. Also taking PEDs comes with a risk to the user health in the long run in some cases. In extreme cases it may even result in death. The expert opinion is more split. The experts who are against it agree with the public opinion. But the experts who disagree say that they should be allowed to take it. Some doctors and athletes say it should be allowed because it allows the user to get better even faster. They also say that if everyone takes them, then it’s a even playing field because everyone is using the same advantaging which is making it fair.
