Just ask americans
Cycling

But earlier this year a sporting event took place
Which turned the debate about drugs in sport
Upside down

It lead athletes from around the world are descending unlost vegas in navta for the first of its kind of sporting competition known is the enhanced games
It's kind of like the olympic exspt only for swimming sprinting and weight
Lifting the asport is to break world records in fact
Some of these competitors are former olympents
Metaliless battling it out for money and glory
But there's one big difference
The big difference is that the enhancgames allow athletes to use performance enhancing drugs
That are banned in professional sports um in games
Nnicnamed the doping olympics

But now i have a question for you
Neil you mentioned the famous sporting cheeat lanance armstrong
But how many times did launch armstrong win the famous raised the taorght of france
Before he was finally caught out
But it it ll go for seat seven
Well Well
It was a lot so well think i'll go for seat seven
Well
We'll find out the answer at the end of the program
After it's no exaggeration to say that the enanccgames are controversial
After all organizations like the world anti doping agency have spent decades fiiting perforforance
Enananccdrugs and spsport
Here's bbc sports editor drorowin on world service program the global story
I think it's fair to says
One of the most diversive and controversial events
That the world of sport has seen for a long time
It's an event where performance enhanced drugs band elsewhere in mainstream sport of course are actually allowed to be taken by the competitors under medical supervision
Dan roone says
Ys fafair to say the enhance games are controversial
He uses the phrase
It's fair to say the introduzed a statement
That inconsiders to be balanced and reasonable
That the games are converversidand
Also describes the games as divisive and addititive
That means causing a lot of disagreement between people
Much of this disagresiment is about the use of performance enhancing drugs themselves
The games organizers point out that all drugs are proproved by the us food and drug agency
And taken openly under medical supervision
Which they say makes them stafer
Than when they are taken secretly under petitions elsewhere
But there are many critics too as downroading outline to bbc world services the global story
But the critics of course say that this cross ses an ethical line
That it sets a dreadful example
Because it risks normalizing doping
It could harm the integrity there for off sport and it
And it could be dangerous to the health of those taking part for the games
Critics doping crosses an ethical line
The phrase across the line means to start behaving in a way
That's not socially acceptable
The critics say the games set of bad example meaning that they encourage others to behave badly as well well is that paper well
It's because critics argue the games normalize the use of performance dcgs in sport
If you normalize something you treat it as normal or acceptable
When previously it wasn't
But with arguments strongly held on both sides
The debate is far from over
So neil have you change your opinion after hearing both sides of the story
Um No
I haha't
I think think not the spstme
I think think you're not fair in sport
What's the point
Well let's hear the answer to my quiquiz question
Nail
I asked you
How many times lims armstrong one
The tord of france
And it was see seven times consecutively between nineteen
Ninety
Nine and vithousand and five of course we now know that there were performance enhancing reasongs involved okay
And how it's time to recap the vocacaplary
We've learned starting with doping using band drament
You perform better in sporting competitions
You can use the phrase
It's fair to say to introduce a statement
You consider to be balanced ed onable or true
If something is divisive
It causes disagreement between people oidim across the ving means to start behaving in an unacceptable
But if you set a bad example
You behave in a way that encourages others to behave badly and finally to normalize something means to treat it as normal or acceptable
When previously it wasn't okay once again are six minutes or up
But if you'd like to practice more
You'll find a quiz and work sheet on our website
