Answer 2

It would no longer be about who trains the hardest and who has the most drive to win, but about who can score and use the best drugs. Basic laws of economics would creep into the sports, and all would be left would be steroid users. Drug dealers would be profit nicely, and as they compete, violence may result. Also, if someone uses steroids as a way to win at all costs, then what would happen if the entire team used steroids, and steroids and training would not be enough to win? Then what would they do? Cheat and bribe their way to the top, and go to bed with the officials? So once one form of dishonesty is allowed and sanctioned, other forms will creep in next.
