What is meant by "doping"?
Doping is the illegal use of any prohibited substance or method that will enhance your physical or mental abilitites.
The prohibited list is made by the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) and it’s modified every year because, with the everyday advances in science and technology, new drugs are created and are harder to detect. So the WADA’s job is the research of new developing drugs
WHY I CHOSE THIS TOPIC?
I chose this topic for many reasons, the first reason is that i personally feel really close to this topic. I´ve always lived surrounded by athletes, both of my parents are involved in triathlons and they actually did an iroman which is the hardest triathlon it exists. i´ve been involved myself, a few years ago i was into competitive swimming, i got to travel to different countries like Brazil, Argentina and Chile. And through all this i have been very closed to this exact topic, doping in highly competitive athletes. I chose this topic because i think people all around the globe are underestimating its importance as a global issue. I think that how bad are us humans to create this substances which can actual be fatal to us, just to beat a record or win prestige. Its not what sports are all about. It is about effort, commitment, passion and skills. Thousands of years ago sports was all about finding the best, the stronger one, the faster one, the ONE in each discipline. Now we´ve ruined the principal thing about sports competition and it is the honor, the honor of winning just by tour effort, not like now, were it wins the one with more money to pay for the better doping technologies for to not be detected. I think this is a big issue and action needs to be taken place to bet doping and recreate a doping- free competition, fair for everyone.
