Task 4: Other Drugs with Restrictions


Usually means they have a genuine medical use in some cases.
In order to use one of the following drugs in competition (with the exception of alcohol) you must have a Therapeutic Use
Exemption (TUE) certificate.
Examples.
1. ______________________________Lowers the heart rate, reduces anxiety and steadies shaking hands.
2. ______________________________Reduces pain and inflammation from injuries and inflammatory conditions (e.g. asthma).
Possible side effects are diabetes and brittle bones.
3. ______________________________Calms nerves. Reduce coordination, judgment and reactions. Long-term use has more serious
side-effects (e.g. liver, kidney and heart failure).
4. _________________________________________________________ An injection to an injured area to reduce pain. They may be
allowed in some sports for medical purposes.
Task 5: Blood Doping
Definition
Method
Advantages
Disadvantages
- Inject with red blood cells.
- Take EPO to increase red blood cell count
- Athletes can exercise for longer.
- Virtually undetectable.
- Allergic reaction.
- Kidney damage.
- Blocked capillaries.
- Virus contraction (e.g. HIV, hepatitis, etc).
‘Socially-accepted’ drugs - Smoking
Affects the respiratory system.
Contains tar, which blocks up alveoli.
 Harder for Gaseous exchange to occur.
Leads to alveoli collapse & stop working.
Contains addictive & poisonous drug nicotine.
Causes tightening of the blood vessels in the lungs, which slows blood flow in the lungs.
 Gaseous exchange less efficient.
Main cause of…
 Lung & throat cancer.
 COPD.
 Fertility problems.
Others problems include…
 Discoloration of teeth and skin.
 Shortness of breath, rise in blood pressure.
 Costs thousands of Euros/Pounds & it’s highly addictive!

Muscles tire quicker.
Drinking before sport is very dangerous.
Causes damage to…
 Liver.
 Kidneys.
 Heart.
 Muscles.
 Brain (e.g. mental illness).
 Digestive & immune systems.
