Rio Olympics PED
It is really not fair for people in the Olympics because if one country is really rich and the other country is poor the poor country will lose because the rich country will probably have a lot of technology to make them even faster stronger. So the poor country will lose. It won’t be fair so I say they should not be allowed to have technology so they will be equal. And more fair, bicycling in the Olympics is same to some bicycles wheels are thin to make the bike faster but other bicycles don’t have much thin wheels.
Technology can be seen as performance enhancing drugs because, some people used technology to make their legs robotic so their muscles on there legs will not get sore he can just keep on going. So it can be seen cheating. It is Unfair for people and for swimming people invented a really good suit that makes you faster, it is a good invention until they took it away cause it is making you faster so it is unfair for another country. The suit was plastic and tight so the water will just flow over the suit and push through with ease, so men aren’t aloud to wear t-shirts while swimming, girls can keep their shirts on obviously… In one Olympics they broke over 20 swimming world records! It’s amazing some Olympic people got suspicious and started testing all the people who broke records also other people
Another way is that they can use performance-enhancing drugs that are called Steroids, Steroids make you feel like you have a lot of energy so you can run nearly forever, so it’s like unlimited stamina. So olympic people came to test their blood, if they find out they used performance-enhancing drugs they will lose their medal and the person beside him will get the medal instead. And the person who cheated will get disqualified. Also when running they had stickers stuck on them, these stickers made the wind flow over them so that they get faster so it’s cheating for another athlete to not have the stickers on them. So they said that your not aloud stickers anymore.
This is all why you are not allowed performance-enhancing drugs and technology in the Olympics it is basically cheating using performance-enhancing drugs that make you feel like you can run forever and that you can feel strong. That’s why they banned technology.

If I were at the Olympics
Olympics is so important cause 170 countries participated. The Olympics is the world’s largest sports, Over 4.5 million athletes in 170 countries. How do Olympic Athletes train? Athletes train by
Running and sleeping then running and sleeping eating breakfast.
Then wake up at 6:00 AM and train do everything over and over again.
They get stronger and fitter also really fast. They mostly work out every day to get stronger, faster and Fitter. Some of them bicycle longer than 200m. It’s so amazing athletes can do all these things.
We also need the Olympics because the Olympics I think is the most popular thing in the world,
The Olympics started on April 6, 1896. It’s almost been 200 years since the Olympics first started
The technology to make athletes win.1
Technology has changed a lot of people's lives. Like for swimming, swimming athletes were fast at swimming. But the tech now has made them faster. For swimmers they use under armour suits to make them a bit faster than they were before. It makes you only a tiny bit faster.
With this under armour swimmers have been breaking records for world's fastest swimming.
When people win they’re so happy that they sometimes cry tears of joy. Cause there related ones won a gold medal. Some people even get so happy that they chuck their stuff around and be so weird.
Sometimes they cry because a country lost the Olympics. For swimming athletes when they win they celebrate by splashing around the place, like a flopping fish. They also Celebrate like a crazy monkey
Punching air.
