Let's imagine that Elias has made it to the World Cup in 2026 with team Philippines. Congratulations Elias!!!
He reckons that if he could get his hands on some performance enhancing drugs (non-nutritional ergogenic aids), it could make him even better on the football pitch.
Can you talk him out of it by giving him 4 reasons he should stay clean?
As ever, don't look at the hint until you are well and truly out of ideas.
