When thinking about performance-enhancing drugs, we often think about the pros or how they help. But what about the side-effects of them and the cons? These "performing-enhacing drugs" are often tried in games like the Olympics. But, they banned those drugs in 1967. They banned them in order to keep the athletes from consuming harmful drugs and to keep the game fair. But, a man named Peter Thiel wants to make "Enhanced Games" happen. I say that the Enhanced Games shouldn't be allowed because while the drugs could be helpful, the athlete's health is more important. The Enhanced Games are also not as fair. Everyone would win because they are all talking the same kind of drug for that sport. No one would have a chance to win a medal. And, what if a person just passes out in the middle of competing? What are they going to do? These drugs are unsafe for athletes and shouldn't be used.
