It is not. Though the first part "the banning of performance enhancing drugs" is a good start, what follows seems to be an example rather than an argument to be explained. Remember that thesis statements are intended to express your opinion and give a general idea of the arguments that support it. These goals are not fulfilled, though it seems the author is against the banning, it is not explicitely said. And the arguments are not present. Also, the information is not logically presented.
We all, as human beings, have social and environmental responsibility. Regarding social responsibility, we need to pay for the services we receive in society and we need to work to contribute to society our ideas and the benefit of our skills, training and education to help move society forward. Regarding the environment, with the advent of global warming and more and more serious consequences of it like the extreme wildfires in British Columbia, Canada and the devastation of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, we need to do our part to reduce greenhouse gases-like using electric buses or bikes to get to work for example. Also, we need to reduce garbage especially in our cities so that our garbage doesn't have to be exported to small communities in the country who don't want the extra liability and also by recycling so that waste can be reused, to help that resources do not have to be used up to make more waste products and pollute the environment in the process.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
Before 1789, the U.S. had been ruled by the Articles of Confederation (1781) in fear of govt. abusing power (like British rule). In 1787, it was obvious that they needed a perfect Union and so, while protecting the independence of states, the Articles of Confederation didn't describe the powers of a federal chief executive nor a judicial system. The creation of our Constitution and present form of government was informed by these and other considerations that arose during the years of the Confederation.
