Doping has been a crime that has happened almost everywhere
around the country in a lot of sports.
It is considered one of the most major crimes in sports. Legal action of doping is very serious to the
athletes, because they take away their life career that they have worked
for. Doping punishment consist of taking
away any right to participate in a sport or even coach it. The anti-doping law is trying to become stricter
and be able to sentence them to jail.
Some say that they feel as if they are being too harsh on punishment and
need to become more aware of trying to stop doping from happening. Many athletes view doping as something that is not serious but
it is, doping is a drug, and it may help you in sports but it still does damage
to your body that you cannot reverse.
The Australian sport world has recently been shocked to learn that many
of their athletes have been doping; Australia has been one of the countries to
not fall under the sports cheating world.
As Australian Justice Minister Jason Clare said “It's cheating, but it's
worse than that. It's cheating with the help of criminals." The Australian
Crime Commission's has been working on this yearlong investigation and found
that the connection in drug use and organized crime in many sports. The nation had its pride of how they were the
only ones to participate in clean sports, and now they are completely humiliated. Many of the players were found to be
injecting the illegal drug into their systems.
This major crime is still an ongoing investigation; it has led to many
more numerous crimes upon Australia. Some say it was bound to happen sooner or
later.
