Drug abuse-Who's at fault?

In recent sports news, drug abuse is fairly common. Performance enhancing drugs are regular practice, and there is a crackdown on it.
But before we start to point fingers at the people who have been found to be taking these drugs, we need to start asking if this is a solution to the drug problem. Is it the athletes that are at fault? The competition is fierce, and the rewards system is biased only to the winner. Nobody remembers the person who comes in second or third, so it is only normal that everyone strives to win. The system needs to provide sufficient recognition to all competitors.
