It all depends on the sport. Different sports have different rules and regulations involving drugs (which are illegal and legal). If the drug happens to be illegal in the sport, disciplinary action will be taken and suspension will probably be the outcome.
the "punishment" for taking any type of band drugs can range from a number of games suspend to being band from the sport ...
Drugs effect your body in ways like making it harder to breathe and giving you muscle damage.
It could improve the way they play without real talent
Yes, but to do that is Illegal and foolish. Drugs are a way to "cheat" on the natural development of muscular strength and stamina.
The effect of drugs in sport can be categorised in to three as follows: (1) Drugs that are 'body building' (i.e. improves power and strength) (2) Drugs that enhance the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood (i.e. improves endurance) (3) Drugs that steady the heart rate (improves your aim in shooting and archery) (4) Drugs that mask (hide) the use of other drugs (5) Drugs that stimulate the brain and nervous system (improves attention span, concentration, motivation) Athletes are sometimes also caught taking banned recreational drugs. Sport governing bodies across the world impose stiff penalties on sports men and women who engage in attempts to boost athletic performance by using drugs.
taking in alcohol while doing a sport can make you sleepy during the sport and lowers your inbitoins doing drugs can be a distraction making you tired and messing with your heart rate.
If an athlete gets caught with steroids or other banned performance enhancing drugs, he/she would get disqualified from whatever they were taking part in, stripped of previous medals and in some cases arrested.... The doctors caught giving athletes steroids sometimes have go through criminal persecution.
Not many. Most of them just get caught using a drug
steroids
Drugs slower the nervous system.
I'm not sure what you mean. I imagine that if you were caught cheating, or doing drugs, or anything like that, your team would be disqualified just like any Olympic sport.
Actually the best way to back out and say no, but not looking soft is if you are sporty to say that you take your sport way too seriously to ruin your chance by taking drugs, i hope that helps.
