Do you want to win £50 just for sharing your thoughts on the passion that consumes you every day.

Sportingo is a network of fan journalists that wants to nurture budding sports-writing talent as well as hear views from a fans perspective and we want to find the best writers out there

This week’s competition is a drugs in sport special.

After this week’s quite astounding revelations regarding Andre Agassi’s use of crystal methamphetamine, it seemed appropriate to ask you – our authors - about your thoughts and knowledge of the issue.

You might have an opinion on clear-cut offences such as Diego Maradona, Ben Johnson or Dwain Chambers. What do you think about the hazier cases such as those involving Rio Ferdinand, Christine Ohuruogu and Shane Warne? Should the use of recreational drugs be dealt with as severely as those that enhance performance? Has the Tour De France now become as synonomous with drug-taking as it is with cycling?

All you need to do is write a considered, intelligent article of between 400 and 600 words on your chosen subject.

Once you have written your piece go to Sportingo.com, register as an author – if you haven’t already - and follow the instructions to submit your article.

The winning piece will be selected via a combination of how many views the article receives, the amount of comments left and its ‘Thumbs Up’ rating with the final judgement sitting with Sportingo’s Chief Editor.

Even those who are not selected can be consoled by seeing their article and their name published in front of a global audience on Sportingo – as long as the article is of a respectable standard, of course.

Though I’m sure you wouldn’t dream of it, please do not cut-and-paste someone else’s work. The Sportingo team trawl the internet 24 hours a day reading about sport and will know if something has been plagiarised so please don’t waste your time or ours.

Entries submitted from October 30 will be eligible for the competition with the closing deadline being midnight (BST) on Thursday November 5. The winner will be announced and notified on Friday November 6.

PLEASE NOTE - The cash prize will be paid into the winner's PayPal account (don't worry, they are very easy to set up) as we are unable to make payment by alternative methods.

So good luck and may the best article win!

The Sportingo Team
