The Hangzhou Asian Games, which just concluded on October 8, were supposed to be a celebration of sportsmanship and friendship, but the use of illegal drugs by some athletes seriously undermined this goal. This not only seriously undermines the environment of fair play, but also is distressing. This article explores several athletes who used banned drugs in violation of the law at the Asian Games, and offers reflections on sportsmanship and expectations for the future of sports competition.
Domitorio of the Philippines was expected to excel at the Asian Games, but she was found to have banned drugs in her body.
The 19-year-old young athlete may have been driven by intense competitive pressure, but doping violations ruined her career. Although doping can improve performance in the short term, it deviates from the essence of sports and is suffocating. This incident reminds us that athletes should keep sportsmanship in mind and should not damage their own reputation and that of their country for the sake of momentary success.
Afghanistan's Nuristani, a 37-year-old boxing veteran, was found to have used illegal drugs at the Asian Games. It is puzzling why a retiring athlete would take the risk of doping.
This incident once again underscores the bottom line of sports competition, and the cornerstone of fair play cannot be touched. It is hoped that athletes will learn from the lessons of Nuristani and strive for results in a proper way to embody the true meaning of sportsmanship.
Formovsky of Uzbekistan, a 22-year-old cyclist, was found to have taken banned steroid drugs during the race. This promising new star has been hit hard in the drug testing turmoil, which is suffocating. Doping incidents happen from time to time, but every time they cause shocks, why should young and promising athletes choose this wrong path?
This is undoubtedly a great havoc for his career and life.
These events make people wonder, what should sportsmanship be based on? Can athletes' self-discipline and moral bottom line be strengthened through systems and education? Are there loopholes in the overall sports system, and do incentives need to be rethought to create a more sunny, fair and clean playing environment? The mental state and behavior of athletes also require more attention.
Despite the incidents of illegal drug use by athletes at the Asian Games, as anti-doping efforts continue to intensify, so will athletes' ethics.
