Writing test


Today's news have shown an increase in "gene doping" and drug use by athletes. 
Society should not accept and promote that athletes take drugs to improve their performances in competitions such as the Olympics.

If we compare today´s athletes with those from the 30's or 40's, there is a big difference in the level of competition: Today's athletes are faster stronger and almost "superhumans".

On the one hand, it is impressive to see how drugs are making athletes everyday better and better. They heal faster, their performances are always improving and people like to see athletes breaking their own records.

However, they are just focused on the final objective which is the gold medal or the record. The real spirit of sport has been lost; they are just focused on doing everything to win even if that is equal to cheating. For example, Lance Armstrong won "the tour of France" 7 times in a row. He admitted that he cheated using steroids. He said: …"if I had not used drugs I would not have won 7 times, It is impossible without it”…

In my opinion, society in some points promotes and accepts the use of drugs. People are always pushing the athletes to go beyond the limits and be the best even if that means cheating. I would prefer to see "real athletes" to genetically modified super athletes.
