The reason they should be banned/punished is cos they are ROLE MODELS. Meaning--many kids emulate them and their behaviour and this kind of behaviour might influence kids to take up drugs during sport or otherwise. Ur kids and mine also might do it in the future. And please dont blame our culture as a whole for the acts of a few people. And just because govt dint ban alcohol that doesnt mean it shouldnt ban drugs. the govt has done a huge mistake by not banning alcohol cos even 12/13 yr olds these days are sometimes drinking it, so let us atleast be thankful that drugs are not legal otherwise these kids would have happily been taking them too.
