he issue I am writing about is Lance Armstrong and doping in
sports. This issue is only getting worse and it needs to be tended to. Athletes
in every sport are either getting away with it or being caught using banned
drugs after years of cheating. These athletes are finding ways around the urine
test such as taking pills to flush your system or falsifying the urine. A new solution
needs to be enforced so the cheating stops. The people who could put an end to
doping are the drug agencies. This is my audience because they have the power
to make the change and do something about it.
The solution
that I am proposing is the Biological passport. This is a stronger way of
detection. This to me is the best possible way because it monitors over time. The
passport builds up a profile for each athlete over time to try and detect
biochemical changes that might indicate doping. Biological passports to detect
steroid and growth-factor doping are the upcoming solution that could end
doping in sports. Biological passports are better than urine testing because it
is, if not impossible, harder to fool. It is not just a onetime urine test; it
monitors your body over time so if the slightest change happens they suspect
something. This will decrease the number of athletes that get away with doping.
I will build rhetorical appeal by creating ethos with my sources. Logos will be
created by my statistics and numbers. Athletes that were truthful but ended up
getting second to someone who used performance enhancing drugs could also evoke
emotion in the reader. Talking about how children everywhere look at to these athletes
that have been cheating will create pathos. I have been writing about this
issue since paper two so I am excited to talk about a solution.
