Question

Should you be banned for life if tested possitive for drugs.?

Answer 1

if its performance inhanceing then maby if its a big offence

but if its crack or weed no  

Answer 2

I think the first time it should be one year minumum.....if it is comitted again....then yes for life.

Answer 3

My first reactions was to say no... they should be banned for a certain time, but given another chance if they can prove they've been clean.  After all, everyone makes mistakes.

But after giving it some thought... maybe they should be banned for life.  That would certainly send a strong message to other athletes.  If they knew they could be banned for life, I bet a lot fewer people would do it.

Answer 4

Well, that seems awfully harsh, but we are all smart enough to know that this is something highly frowned upon. So, I'll say yes to steroid use, since that is intented to help athletes gain an unfair advantage.

Answer 5

Depends on what drugs. I think a minimal year ban with constant testings to make sure you stay clean is good punishment.  

Answer 6

It does depend on the drugs used but i still think life is harsh they should be banned for 2 years with no training allowed. That would be long enough to wreck most peoples careers.

Answer 7

Yes, because cheaters ruin sports.

Answer 8

when you say its for the olympics. yeah llike not compete in olympic games anymore

because the olympics are to show true skill and drugs jsut ruin the whole fun of the game

plus this is an event that every country looks at so i mean, to be seen using drugs is not a good thing

Answer 9

if you dont learn your lesson after the first time, yes!

Answer 10

Yes you should. The fact that the person even decided to stoop to the despicable actions of taking drugs shows low moral character and he/her has already brought their sport into disrepute.

We would have no gurantees they wouldn't try to take drugs again. Besides, they wouldn't deserve to play a sport which they tried to cheat everyone in.

Answer 11

Yes.  Whilst the rules are so light more people will do it.  If they make it really tough then people would think a lot more.

Answer 12

Not for life, but for a substantial amount of time.
