Lewis Kurlantzick, LLB Biography
- Title:
- Zephaniah Swift Professor of Law at the University of Connecticut School of Law
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Performance Enhancing Drugs (Such as Steroids) Be Accepted in Sports?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Athletes are in a position to make a decision about what behavior is in their best interest, to weigh the risks and benefits according to their own values. And a paternalistic rule that attempts to prevent the athlete from harming himself runs counter to the important values of independence and personal choice. […]
There is good reason to question the prevailing view in the sports community that performance-enhancing drugs are bad and that their use should be banned.”
