Best Answer

Some drugs are illegal in sports because they make you stronger, faster, or more agressive. This is seen as cheating. Some drugs are illegal normally because they're bad for you.

Then again, all drugs taken in excess are bad for you.

How does illegal drugs relate to the crime rate?

This is a very simplistic answer - I hope it says what you need. The demand for anything illegal exists independent of laws that make it illegal. Since people demand substances that are illegal, they have to step outside avenues of legal commerce to get what they want. This becomes a crime that can be measured whenever such people are caught. By making certain drugs illegal, governments automatically increase the crime rate. There are secondary effects as well. When people want certain illegal substances badly enough, they will commit other crimes to get the money they need to illegally purchase their desired illegal substances. For instance, committing burglary to steal prescription drugs, or to steal anything that can be sold buy illegal drugs. Another example is engaging in prostitution to make money to support a drug habit. There are also people who get involved in large scale smuggling or processing of illegal drugs to make sure that they have a supply of illegal drugs themselves. Once the drugs themselves are made illegal, all kinds of additional crime occurs to provide for commerce in those drugs.
