WHY PLAYERS USE PED’S ?
Pressure is Placed on Athletes to Perform Better Today'sathlete faces an increasingly difficult choice:
• to use drugs to enhance performance or
• to accept what could amount to be a competitivehandicap that is to be in a competition with otherathletes who may certainly be using PEDs.
• They face a lot of pressure .
• They want to perform their best.
• Money
Duties of Athletes to prevent doping in sports
To keep themselves updated on the prohibited list of
substances.
To send samples of any medicines, dietary supplements, etc.,
to the laboratory for testing.
To keep the NADA updated on their whereabouts for random
checks.
To apply for Therapeutic Use Exemptions in unavoidable
circumstances.
EARLY DOCUMENTED USES
• In the 1860s, a group of swimmers in Amsterdam
were charged with taking drugs to speed up their
races. For the next 80 years or so, athletes who
wanted to cheat focused mostly on stimulants to
speed themselves up
DISQUALIFIED! SPORTSPERSONS
• The first athlete to be disqualified for drug use was Hans-
Gunnar from Sweden. He won a bronze medal but was
disqualified when a post-event drug test showed him positive
for cocaine and alcohol in his system.
• Ben Johnson tested
positive for
stanozolol and was
stripped of his gold
medal as well as his
previous 1987
World
Championship title.
The Spirit of Sport
• I believe that drugs shouldn’t be used in sports
and that any athlete caught using performance-
enhancing drugs should be banned from all
future sports events without being given
second chances.
