Drug Abuse
1.
Possible outcomes of drugs can be a ban for life of the athlete plus a fine. If the athlete wins it could encourage other athletes to take drugs. It could make the athletes sponsor look bad. This could also make the sport look bad and may prevent people from wanting to take part in it or fans going to see it and over all reducing the amount of fans or support of the sport.
2.
Differences between class a and class c drugs are although they are both illegal the use of class a drugs the punishment and effect on the body is much more severe than the use of class c drugs. Class A drugs include drugs such as heroin and ecstasy and can face life in prison if caught dealing whereas Class c drugs such as cannabis and gbh if caught dealing you can face up to 14 years in prison which is much less severe.

Religious teaching and beliefs can stop a believer from taking an illegal drug as most religions completely forbid the use of illegal drugs.
Christians believe that some recreational drugs such as wine aren’t forbidden as at the last supper jesus represented his blood by a glass of red wine. But Christians see the body as a natural home of the soul and therefore it is precious and sacred “your body is a temple of the holy spirit”. So Christians don’t approve the use of most recreational drugs and all illegal drugs as they can alter the way the mind thinks and make people incapable of praying to god and not being alert to god but most Christians will take drugs on prescription. Alcohol tobacco and caffeine are drugs which are seen as ok for Christians but these are not illegal anyway so coming back to the question a religious Christian will never take illegal drugs as the body is sacred and should be taken care of. Drugs are seen as evil as they encourage people to act the opposite way to the way they should and therefore commit sins as well as crimes.
