Dope check

Doping has gone too far. There, I said it. I can understand that in the modern world of sports, it is important to maintain an even playing field. In order to do so, it is necessary that athletes and equipment be tested in order to ensure that when the athletes take the field, the only things they take with them are their natural abilities and the product of years of intensive training and hard work. That means no pills, no “supplements,” no corked bats and certainly no bionic arms. And certainly, no sport is above the law. One by one, different events have adopted testing, a practice that has become more institutionalized. Records have been erased, and medals have been revoked.
