Doping in sport
"The important thing in life is not the triumph, but the fight;
the essential thing is not to have won, but to have fought well."
Pierre de Coubertin
Definition: the use of performance enhancing substances in sport.
Derivation: from the Dutch word dop, Zulu warriors used this beverage prior to battle.
Term became current ~ beginning of 20th century in reference to illegal drugging of racehorses.
What is Doping?

Using a prohibited substance

Possessing a prohibited substance

Interfering with the testing process

Refusal to undergo test

Not providing whereabouts information (Out-of-Competition). 3 missed tests/18 months

for individuals in RTP

Encouraging or assisting others to dope (including trafficking)

Covering up Doping activities

Any type of complicity regarding doping activity

History
1928 IAAF bans doping (use of stimulants)
1935 - Isolation of testerone with subsequent creation of artificial anabolic steroids

WW II - concentration camp survivors given testosterone and nandrolone to enhance recovery

from starvation
1966 FIFA (football) & UCI (cycling) introduce drug testing at championships
1968 drug testing first used in Olympic Games
1974 reliable test for anabolic steroids introduced
1976 IOC bans anabolic steroids
1979 testing for illegal drugs by IOC begins
1986 IOC bans blood doping
1999 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) founded
2000 - first Olympics testing for EPO
2004 BALCO indicted in the USA

Motivations for Use of DOPING

Increased strength, endurance, alertness, aggression

Decreased reaction time, fatigue, anxiety, muscle tremor

Drive to win

Financial incentives

Belief that others are using PES (performance enhancing substances

Coping with pain and injury rehabilitation

Weight control

To alleviate stress & anxiety

To relieve boredom

To avoid dealing with personal problems

To alleviate low self-confidence

Lack of acknowledgment (DENIAL) of any harmful effects of PES

Perfectionism

Why is doping banned?

Major reasons why some substances are banned. These are:

Health Concerns - some drugs used by athletes can have serious effects on an individuals
health. e.g. Anabolic Steroids

Ethical Concerns - The use of certain drugs which do not pose a major health risk, but
may offer a performance advantage over other athletes. This may be considered cheating.
e.g. Beta Blockers

Legal Concerns - some drugs are banned because they are illegal in general society. e.g.
Cocaine

Barriers to Prevention of Doping

Nationalistic sports organizations

Financial payoffs

Fuzzy line between performance enhancement through legal means and doping

Cultural drive for human enhancement in all facets of life

Blurring of line between foods and drugs

Scientific knowledge advancement
