Southern New Hampshire University Performance Enhancing Drug Discussion
I have been assigned to the PRO side.
First, read Chapter 13 in your text along with the articles:
System Fails to Address State-Sponsored Doping
Contextual Influences and Athlete Attitudes to Drugs in Sport
New York Cosmos: Twice in a Lifetime; a New Business Look at a Legendary Sports Franchise
Use these readings to formulate your arguments about performance-enhancing drug (PED) use from business and political perspectives.
If you have been assigned to the PRO debate group, work with your group to develop a case in favor of permitting athletes to use PEDs, and, in your initial post, address the following:
- Identify reasons why it is acceptable for athletes to use PEDs. Discuss why these reasons should supersede policies set by agencies and governments.
- What are the business implications of athlete PED use? Consider business areas of fan retention, ticket sales, and sponsorship deals.
