In The News- Drugs,and Fairness in the Olympics

The Olympics is something which people train years and years for. Many people train naturally while others use technology or medicine to help enhance their performance. This is something that I disagree with. I view the Olympics as the ultimate test for an athlete's natural ability. To be able to make it into the Olympics is an honor itself.
I view using various sorts of technology and medication as a form of cheating. It helps you to do better than you natural ability. It is not fair that one person within the entire competition is able to have an advantage especially when the winner is a difference of a matter of a split second. If one person has that advantage everyone competing should have the same treatment.
