Doping in sports
Author(s): Geeta Devi
Abstract:
Physical exercise and exertion impose an increased demand of nutrients and oxygen on the body. To achieve this, some sports persons resort to pills and injections as shortcuts to success. The use of drugs in sports goes back centuries, about all the way back to the very invention of the concept of sports. In sports, doping is the administrations of or used by a competing athlete of any substance foreign to the body or any physiological substance taken in abnormal quantity or taken by an abnormal route of entry into the body with the sole purpose of increasing in as artificial and unfair manner his/her performance in competition. In November 1999, the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) was founded as an independent foundation with equal representatives from the Olympic Movement and Public authorities. The creation of WADA is one of the most recent and impressive examples of collaboration in international sport. “Think positive - test negative” is the message of WADA to every athlete in all sports. Gene doping, blood doping, blood doping, and human growth hormone are the future challenges in the field of doping agents and improvement of detection techniques. In formation and education should be provided to athletes as well as to the society.
