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.
