Can the use of performance-enhancing drugs be justified? Can drug testing in sports catch the cheaters? What would you do about it? The use of performance-enhancing drugs in sports has gone on for years. Until the 1960's few seemed to care. Now the testing is complex and the punishments harsh. But sports are big business. Money and celebrity status may depend on a person winning or breaking a record. A lot is at stake. Some people argue that it is impossible to completely stamp out drugs in sports. Others argue that there is no point in competitive sports if some athletes enhance their performances. They think these athletes should be banned from competing for life. People have argued about this problem for 50 years. Have you ever thought about the use of drugs in sports? This book does not tell you what to think. But it will help you to join in the debate.

Review:
Series: What do You Think? Covering the debate on banning athletes whove used performance enhancing drugs, this book clearly develops both points of view but does not provide a clear answer for the reader. Great discussion starter. RecommendedAlicia Van --Arlington Independent School District
