Drugs in Sport (Doping) Reviews

Working within the supplements industry, I have my own view on Doping. Doping being sportsmen/competitors taking illegal substances that are banned within their particular sport. As with all competitive sports supplements are required to ensure competitors can maintain a healthy lifestyle and to compete to the requirements that are ...

Doping exists in all competitive sports. Major difference between clean and doped sportsmen is felt in track athletics more than in any other sport. Here, it is very competitive; few seconds of extra stamina of speed can make the difference between losers and winners. I can understand why athletes cheat. It is obvious and I can sympathise with an ...

Sports doping is old as sports. Earliest records of cheating is Greek athletes eating sheep testicles. In the 19th century sportsmen took caffeine, cocaine, alcohol mixed with other substances. 20th century is worse for cheating in sports. Governing bodies took notice of this and in 1966 athletes competing in Europe were tested. ...

I have some quite strong views on this topic but shall try to remain impartial... but starting with a question, why are drugs illegal in sport?

When people think of performance enhancing drugs they immediately think of anabolic steroids they don’t realise that lots of normal everyday foodstuffs, or over the counter remedies are classed as performance enhancing in some sports.

Should Drugs be used in sport. I know that some people think that drugs in sport is wrong that they should never be used in sport, or even in day to day life. On the other hand there are people that say drugs should be used because it is right to. Me I would agree with both accounts and I am going to explain why. Firstly I ...

Sport is a strange animal. What started out as recreational, pleasurable pastimes, have now become more stressful and demanding than the working lives we were trying to escape in the first place. Have you been to a kids Sunday football match recently? Have you noticed the red-faced coach on the touchline, scolding his players, only a few BPM's ...

I did this for my AS level biology coursework but it is quite good and faces a lot of important issues to do with the subject of drugs in sport so i thought I'd share it with you.

I heard a suggestion on a comedy program that drugs in sport should be legalised, but you shouldn't be allowed to chose what sort of drug you are going to get, which is an amusing idea if totally unhelpful. I think the first thing to ask is, what is sport about? If sport is just about who can go the fastest/furthest then obviously any ...

I believe that not only should there be MORE drugs in sport, we should go that one step further and allow genetic and surgical enhancements, so that we can manufacture perfect sportsmen. Imagine a day when the rules say "anything goes" how much more entertaining would that be from the spectator's point of view. ...

Consequences of using drugs in sport, many mostly bad ones. Should the use of them be legalized? No way. The use of performance enhancing drugs in sport should remain banned. I will start by ...

There are both negitive and positive consequences to the use of performance enhancing drugs in sport based on these consequences the use of performance enhancing drugs in sport should be allowed. The Olympics is the biggest of the big, and the pressures to succeed are nearly overwhelming. Athletes are always seeking some edge over their ...

I know its a sad situation when cricket arrives on our tv's but not long to go unitil the new season starts. I have to admit that im not overly clued up on ...

Drugs in sports are a very useful way to gain a better time and also further distances. Now personally i do not care if someone is taking drugs because to many sport stars it is their livelihood and therefore they will do anything to get to the top. Now it may sound like im being mad but think about it. IT IS THEIR JOB. If you were working in a ...

When I was 16 I was very much into running and I have been offered drugs to help with my running but I say no thank god!!! I am sorry but I am a very anti-drug. I believe that professional athletes should take NO drugs, as the competitions should be based on ability and talent not on how many pills they have popped that day. Maybe I ...

The Commonwealth Games is approaching fast, and as ever, the main focus of attention will be on the City of Manchester stadium and the track and field events. However, the media circus surrounding the positive drugs tests of UK record holders Janine Whitlock and Perris Wilkins threatens to overshadow the biggest athletics event to be held in the ...

I bought a Maserati for my Christmas present to myself since I am all alone. I was used to putting the cheap 87 Octance gas in my car which costs about $1.04 per gallon in America where I live ( I am a Brighton Boy who is living in America working for BP). All of a sudden I had to splurge and buy the $1.27 per gallon high test (for some reason it ...

There are many things you need to know when you start lifting weights. Most of which I know. I've been lifting for a few years now and please don't mind me saying that I can bench press a buick. Many people falsly believe many things about lifting weights, so I'm going to try to clear some of that up right now. Contrary to ...

We are all well aware of drug testing and how inaccurate it can be, but is it really wise to remove it from international sporting events? With the new age and new medication, more and more performance enhancing drugs are being used to allow athletes to push their bodies to the limits. Some are banned substances either within the sport ...
