Mia:This is ridiculous! They're going to suspend Eric Rodrigo for doping.

Alex:From what I've read, he failed his random drug test and they found performance-enhancing drugs in his system.

Mia:But he's one of the best players on the team.

Without him, we won't have a chance to get to the playoffs.

Alex:He should have thought of that before he decided to cheat.

体育赛事中服用违禁药物

I'm surprised they're only suspending him for a few games.

Last year, a player on another team was banned for life from the sport and stripped of his championship titles.

Mia:In my opinion, they completely overreacted and one of the best players in the game is off the field forever.

Alex:You don't think that people who use steroids and other banned substances should be punished?

Mia:Not when the fans are the ones who really pay the price.

Alex:So you're in favor of allowing performance-enhancing drugs in sports?

Mia:Sure, why not? If everybody is doping, it levels the playing field.

Alex:I am really glad you're not the commissioner!
