Poll: Do you think doping in sports should be legal?

The Rio Olympics have been plunged into a new doping scandal today.

NEW ALLEGATIONS OF doping at the Olympic games in Rio have surfaced today.

The Kenyan team’s track and field manager was secretly filmed offering to protect cheating athletes from the drugs testing authorities.

In the past world heavyweight title contender Tyson Fury said doping should be legal as he believes 99% of sportspeople are guilty of it.

“I think being in a democratic world means we have to be open to different things. Why don’t they make drugs totally legal in sports and then it would be fully fair?”

So today we’re asking, do you think doping in sports should be legal?
