Mesocarb

Restate your thesis/claim:

Even though Mesocarb helps your body in many ways, why take that risk and damage your body or lose your place in events such as the Olympics.

Quote about your topic that connects to your thesis:

“Mesocarb is still used for a variety of applications, including Benzodiazepine drugs,increasing workload capacity and cardiovascular function, treatment of ADHD and hyperactivity in children, and as a drug to enhance resistance to extremely cold temperatures”(Klein 1991).

Knowing all this information and what will happen to you, would you still take the risk?

With all of the searching about athlete’s personal stories...

Inference/Conclusion

Clearly, if you purposefully use Mesocarb to cheat, officials can easily detect the drug with the new instrument, API 3200 Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer .

Inference

We can conclude that there is no point trying to cheat because most athletes who attempt to take performance enhancing drugs have been caught, for if more and more people start taking PEDs, they might make a mandatory drug test.

Conclusion

Facts:

I've seen that when athletes use Mesocarb, they consistently don't put their personal story on the internet. Athletes would be afraid of professional drug testers testing them and getting busted.

Quote:

“A number of athletes have been associated with the use of Mesocarb (Bromantan) in their bid for success. It was reported that Russian athletes were among the hardest hit by this controversial drug. Some of them have been stripped of their medals while others are waiting agonizingly for their test results”(Lajis 2010).

Elaboration:

People taking mesocarb take a consistent risk because they will eventually be caught.

In addition Madhusudhana Reddy has given us a substantial amount of evidence on how to detect Mesocarb

Facts: Samples are analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Quote:

“Mesocarb has been detected by mass spectrometry. Using an API 3200 Triple quadrupole mass spectrometer instrument, the urine sample is loaded and measured for the drug” (Reddy 2009).

Elaboration:

Furthermore, Abdul Razak Lajis states that Mesocarb can be used to cheat, for instance ...

Finally, people will be discouraged to use Mesocarb because of the latest technology in drug testing.

Facts: -Three Russian athletes, one Lithuanian cyclist and two sports officials were banned from the Atlanta Games for using Mesocarb (Bromantan).

-Two more Russian athletes were stripped of their bronze medals after testing positive for Mesocarb (Bromantan.)

Quote:Mesocarb became an issue when seven athletes in the 1996 Summer Olympics who tested positive”

(Barlett 2012).

Explanation:They illegalized this drug, so less people are able to use this drug to cheat, however, they might completely stop testing for Mesocarb and athletes would get away with using Mesocarb because officials wouldn't think anybody is taking that drug anymore.

Topic sentence

Taking Mesocarb integrated with lying and cheating causes an unfair advantage over other players, for testers can pick you out and prove you guilty.

Mesocarb

Inference/Conclusion

Clearly, Mesocarb is potentially a harmful drug; however, Mesocarb can be an effective way to help stimulate a user’s body to function at a higher capacity.

With all the evidence I collected I can convey that, Mesocarb, if used, should be carefully monitored by a trained physician.

Next, Chris Gratton has supported that Mesocarb has more than one side effects

Quote:

“Adverse side effects include elevated blood pressure and headache, increased and irregular heart beat, anxiety and tremor” (Siekmann, 1999).

Explanation:

If a person were to take take Mesocarb, they should be extremely aware of the harmful effects and not just the ones that benefit their body; therefore, the drug should be taken very seriously.

-Dangerously high blood pressure

-Irregular heartbeat

-Headache

- Anxiety

- Insomnia

- Reduced appetite

- Anorexia

- Allergic reactions

Also, Krasov states that people take Mesocarb to

Brandon West

Facts:

-Treatment of ADHD and hyperactivity in children. They stopped giving Mesocarb to children because the drug caused liver damage.

-Mesocarb enhances resistance to extremely cold temperatures.

- increases workload capacity and cardiovascular function

- increases cognitive enhancers (Krasov,1988)

-Mesocarb masks other drugs in the body.

Quote:

Mesocarb is slower acting but longer lasting than dextroamphetamine

(A similar drug) (Wright,2013).

Elaboration:

This could be more helpful when you're using this drug for resisting the cold because Mesocarb could resist the cold longer, but not as well.

Topic sentence

Intro

Mesocarb is a drug that was created as a stimulant to increase your performance; the drug can also hurt you.

Initially John Wiley claims that Mesocarb is

Facts:

- A man made drug developed in the USSR (Soviet Union) in the 1970s; intended for the use of the Russian Army to ward off fatigue experienced in combat (Jones, 1998).

Quote:

-"Mesocarb is poorly detected by some screening procedures" (Wilson, 2001).

Explanation:

-This means that more people will get away with using this drug because the testing policy is less strict.

Hook:

Police: Sir, I hope you know Mesocarb is banned and the drug is illegal everywhere.

Elaboration:

Athletes have been banned from sports and all competitive activities just for taking Mesocarb. Though Mesocarb can help you win if you can get away with taking the drugs , Mesocarb is not a way to sustain a winning streak.

Thesis/claim:

Many people use this drug to increase their body’s workload and help their body sustain other activities , however, Mesocarb is very dangerous and can easily harm your body.
