스포츠와 반도핑

Abstract

Doping is the action or substance use which is prohibited by international regulation. Why do they dope when they already know that it is prohibited. Athletes who dope are seeking to gain a competitive advantage over their rivals. But athletes seek to gain competitive advantages in numerous ways & many of these are not banned. The consequences of doping are health, social, financial and legal problems. The consequences of health are physical and mental problems. Surely, most of the players and populations think that doping should be prohibited. As it is against the defined rules & laws governing sport. It is unfair and goes against the level playing field ideal. The World Anti-Doping Code (WADA Code) states that “Anti-doping programs seek to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport.” Doping, like no other issue, hits athletes where it hurts: at their one shot at glory, at their own opportunity of a gold medal. That is why we must continue to work together to protect clean athletes.
