Some sports are associated so any good performance = must be on drugs (Chris Froome / Usain Bolt / Mo Farah) Threatens the spirit Reputation damage Decreases interest Image is tarnished

Answer 2

Answer 5

A system designed to support out of competition testing which requires athletes to supply the details of their whereabouts so that they can be located at any time and anywhere for testing without advanced notice

Answer 6

the one that fluctuates the most

Answer 7

a record that monitors selected biological variables over time that indirectly reveal the effects of doping rather than attempting to detect the doping substance or method itself. identify and target athletes for specific analytical testing by intelligent and timely interpretation of the data and pursue possible antidoping rule violations based on an atypical passport

Answer 8

difficult to gain access to individuals

Answer 9

standardised "banned lsit", testing procedures and punishments enabling better coordination of out of comp testing. needs to be equality between performers needs to be that performers dont choose between sports to avoid punishments

Answer 10

Health risks and dangerous side effects. Creates negative role models Gives sport a negative image. Only rich countries can afford them so never level playing field. There are a variety of Negative consequences if caught – loss medals, money etc Goes against the contract to compete Drug taking is simply illegal and is cheating. Pressure increase from coaches and peers who take / promote drug taking. Success should be about hard work and natural talent. Drugs give unfair advantage, are immoral, unethical and against fair play

Answer 11

Drugs are easy to access – hard to prevent (spend the money elsewhere). Detection is not always effective or accurate – testers are always 1 step behind. Hard to define what a drug is (supplements, oxygen tents, caffeine). Just another training aid – others are used (technology) Institutionalised doping programmes are hard to prevent / infiltrate. Some sponsors support disgraced athlete (Gaitlin and Nike). Appropriate bans are difficult to issue. Sacrifices made by performer are a personal choice Level playing field if everyone takes drugs If monitored properly – health risks are significantly reduced Athletes do not ask to be roles models They have the right to chose how they abuse their body May be naturally occurring in bodies (testosterone) Really helpful to aid to train longer and recover from strenuous training faster

Answer 12

when an athlete may have an illnesses or condition that requires the use of medication listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s Prohibited List. USADA can grant a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) in these situations in compliance with the World Anti-Doping Agency International Standard for TUEs. The TUE application process is thorough and designed to balance the need to provide athletes access to critical medication while protecting the rights of clean athletes to complete on a level playing field.

Answer 13

The ‘Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative’ which was behind one of the biggest scandals in drugs history as the source of THG, with several athletes implicated and subsequently banned from sport, including sprinters Dwayne Chambers and Marion jones
