WriteUps #2

 Lee, DeborahGriswold, Ann. “Counterpoint: Athletes Should be Tested for Drugs.” Points Of View: Drug Testing For Sports (2011): 3. Points of View Reference Center. Web. 14 Nov. 2011

Don’t allow athletes to break the rules in a painfully obvious way. Steroids are illegal and should not be tolerated. To protect the integrity, you must test. There are rules in professional sports that must be followed to maintain fair competition. Steroids give you an unfair advantage so they should be illegal. It is that simple. If you don't want to be tested, then don't play professional sports. The constitution does not apply because there is a contract signed by athletes that is voluntary that they won't take illegal substances. If anything, there is legal fraud because the paying audiences expect that everyone is playing clean.

This counterpoint to writeup 2 refutes the constitutional argument brought by writeup 1. It says that since it is voluntary to play professional sports, it is not unconstitutional.
