DRUGS IN SPORT Noadswood Science, 2011 Monday, May 22, 2017 Drugs In Sport • To know how drugs can be used in sport Drug Production • What is the procedure in producing legal drugs in the UK? • Drug production is stringently tested – initially there is a laboratory stage using computer simulations, animal testing and ethical boards • This is then followed by a small sample of human testing, which if found has the number of individuals increased until finally it is licensed… Doping • Some athletes try to gain an advantage by using performance- enhancing drugs – known as doping • Many performance-enhancing drugs are banned by sports' governing bodies – there are 5 doping classes: Doping Class Effect On Performance Side-Effects Stimulants More alert and mask fatigue Heart failure / addictive Anabolic steroids Helps train harder and builds muscle Kidney damages / increased aggression Diuretics Remove fluid from body Dehydration Narcotic analgesics Mask pain (injury / fatigue) Addictive Peptides & hormones EPO (red blood cells giving more energy) & HGH (growth hormone building muscle) EPO – heart attack / stroke risk HGH – heart disease / abnormal growth / diabetes Blood Doping • Blood doping is injecting blood that has been removed from the body a few days earlier, enabling the blood to carry more oxygen – it is banned as it's a form of cheating as well as potentially causing kidney and heart failure • Beta blockers are banned in archery and shooting as they keep the heart rate low and reduce tremble in the hands… Ethical • What are the ethical implications of using drugs to gain a competitive edge? • Should all drugs be banned? Does this include and type of training, such as high altitude training to increase the number of red blood cells which can then be stored for a few days prior to an event (which carry more oxygen due to increased haemoglobin levels)? • Discuss the moral and ethical issues involved with drugs in sport between your groups and decide on what stance you would take if you were part of the Olympic committee…
