  I think doping in sports is completely unethical and in some cases, for example steroids, they can have adverse effects on ones health in the long term.
  How to stop it? Athletes are frequently tested without warning and they must comply. If they miss two tests and then even three they are in great trouble. However, I am sure we will never get rid of doping – its like cheating and that goes well beyond athletes! The trouble is the advent of new drugs that may not be detected by the current tests.
