Daniel M Rosen Publisher: English View all editions and formats Summary: Since the dawn of athletic competition during the original Olympic Games in Ancient Greece, athletes, as well as their coaches and trainers, have been finding innovative ways to gain an edge on their competition. Some of those performance-enhancement methods have been within the accepted rules while other methods skirt the gray area between being within the rules and not, while still other methods break the established rules.
In modern times, doping-the use of performance-enhancing drugs-has been one method athletes and their trainers have used to beat their competition. The history of sports doping during the modern era can be traced through the events and scandals of the times in which the athletes lived. From the use of amphetamines and other stimulants in the early 20th century, to the use of testosterone and steroids by both the USSR and the United States during Cold War-era Olympics games, to blood doping and EPO, to designer drugs, the history of doping in sports closely follows the medical and technological advances of our times.
In the early 21st century, the possibility of genetically engineered athletes looms. The story of doping in sports over the last century offers clues to where the battle over performance enhancement will be fought in the years to come. It also shows that a number of popularly circulated stories about doping in sports don't hold up under close examination. For example, in , an English cyclist was said to have died following the Bordeaux to Paris Derny race.
However, the Bordeaux to Paris race didn't exist in It was first run in Second, the cyclist who supposedly died in actually died in from typhoid fever, rather than doping-related causes. To round this landmark study, Dope features an afterword that addresses the final conclusion of the Floyd Landis doping case and brings the content up to the minute on other current doping scandals.

Olympic statistics show the weight of shot putters increased 14 percent between and , whereas steeplechasers weight increased 7. The gold medalist pentathlete Mary Peters said: However, drug testing can be wildly inconsistent and, in some instances, has gone unenforced.
A number of studies measuring anabolic steroid use in high school athletes found that out of all 12th grade students, 6. Of those students who acknowledged doping with anabolic—androgenic steroids, well over half participated in school-sponsored athletics, including football, wrestling, track and field, and baseball. A second study showed 6. At the collegiate level, surveys show that AAS use among athletes range from 5 percent to 20 percent and continues to rise.
The study found that skin changes were an early marker of steroid use in young athletes, and underscored the important role that dermatologists could play in the early detection and intervention in these athletes. He later admitted to using the steroid as well as Dianabol , testosterone, Furazabol , and human growth hormone amongst other things.
Johnson was stripped of his gold medal as well as his world-record performance. Carl Lewis was then promoted one place to take the Olympic gold title. Lewis had also run under the current world record time and was therefore recognized as the new record holder. Lewis broke his silence on allegations that he was the beneficiary of a drugs cover-up, admitting he had failed tests for banned substances, but claiming he was just one of "hundreds" of American athletes who were allowed to escape bans, concealed by the USOC.
Lewis has now acknowledged that he failed three tests during the US Olympic trials, which under international rules at the time should have prevented him from competing in the Seoul games. I knew this was going on, but there's absolutely nothing you can do as an athlete. You have to believe governing bodies are doing what they are supposed to do. And it is obvious they did not," said former American sprinter and Olympic champion, Evelyn Ashford.
In , one of East Germany's best sprinters, Renate Neufeld , fled to the West with the Bulgarian she later married. A year later she said that she had been told to take drugs supplied by coaches while training to represent East Germany in the Olympic Games. She brought with her to the West grey tablets and green powder she said had been given to her, to members of her club, and to other athletes.
The West German doping analyst Manfred Donike reportedly identified them as anabolic steroids. She said she stayed quiet for a year for the sake of her family. But when her father then lost his job and her sister was expelled from her handball club, she decided to tell her story. East Germany closed itself to the sporting world in May At the same time, the Kreischa testing laboratory near Dresden passed into government control, which was reputed to make around 12, tests a year on East German athletes but without any being penalised.
The International Amateur Athletics Federation suspended Slupianek for 12 months, a penalty that ended two days before the European championships in Prague. In the reverse of what the IAAF hoped, sending her home to East Germany meant she was free to train unchecked with anabolic steroids, if she wanted to, and then compete for another gold medal, which she won.
After that, almost nothing emerged from the East German sports schools and laboratories. A rare exception was the visit by the sports writer and former athlete, Doug Gilbert of the Edmonton Sun , who said:. Other reports came from the occasional athlete who fled to the West. There were 15 between and One, the ski-jumper Hans-Georg Aschenbach , said: There are gymnasts among the girls who have to wear corsets from the age of 18 because their spine and their ligaments have become so worn After German reunification, on 26 August the records were opened and the evidence was there that the Stasi , the state secret police, supervised systematic doping of East German athletes from until reunification in Doping existed in other countries, says the expert Jean-Pierre de Mondenard, both communist and capitalist, but the difference with East Germany was that it was a state policy.
Dynamo Sports Club [49] was especially singled out as a center for doping in the former East Germany. A special page on the internet was created by doping victims trying to gain justice and compensation, listing people involved in doping in the GDR. State-endorsed doping began with the Cold War when every eastern bloc gold was an ideological victory.
Four years later the total was 20 and in it doubled again to It is estimated that around 10, former athletes bear the physical and mental scars of years of drug abuse, [54] one of them is Rica Reinisch , a triple Olympic champion and world record-setter at the Moscow Games in , has since suffered numerous miscarriages and recurring ovarian cysts.
Two former Dynamo Berlin club doctors, Dieter Binus, chief of the national women's team from to 80, and Bernd Pansold , in charge of the sports medicine center in East-Berlin, were committed for trial for allegedly supplying 19 teenagers with illegal substances. Virtually no East German athlete ever failed an official drugs test, though Stasi files show that many did produce failed tests at Kreischa , the Saxon laboratory German: Former Sport Club Dynamo athletes who publicly admitted to doping, accusing their coaches: Based on the admission by Pollack, the United States Olympic Committee asked for the redistribution of gold medals won in the Summer Olympics.
In rejecting the American petition on behalf of its women's medley relay team in Montreal and a similar petition from the British Olympic Association on behalf of Sharron Davies , the IOC made it clear that it wanted to discourage any such appeals in the future. According to British journalist Andrew Jennings , a KGB colonel stated that the agency's officers had posed as anti-doping authorities from the International Olympic Committee to undermine doping tests and that Soviet athletes were "rescued with [these] tremendous efforts".
The Moscow Games might as well have been called the Chemists' Games. A member of the IOC Medical Commission, Manfred Donike, privately ran additional tests with a new technique for identifying abnormal levels of testosterone by measuring its ratio to epitestosterone in urine.
Twenty percent of the specimens he tested, including those from sixteen gold medalists would have resulted in disciplinary proceedings had the tests been official. Documents obtained in revealed the Soviet Union's plans for a statewide doping system in track and field in preparation for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Dated prior to the country's decision to boycott the Games, the document detailed the existing steroids operations of the program, along with suggestions for further enhancements. The communication, directed to the Soviet Union's head of track and field, was prepared by Dr.
Sergei Portugalov of the Institute for Physical Culture. Portugalov was also one of the main figures involved in the implementation of the Russian doping program prior to the Summer Olympics. There have been few incidents of doping in football, mainly due to FIFA 's belief that education and prevention with constant in and out-of-competition controls play a key role in making high-profile competitions free of performance-enhancing drugs. In , the biological passport is introduced in the FIFA World Cup ; blood and urine samples from all players before the competition and from two players per team and per match are analysed by the Swiss Laboratory for Doping Analyses.
In December , the UFC began a campaign to drug test their entire roster randomly all year-round. Random testing, however, became problematic for the promotion as it began to affect revenue, as fighters who had tested positive would need to be taken out of fights, which adversely affected fight cards, and therefore pay-per-view sales. If the UFC were not able to find a replacement fighter fights would have to be cancelled. That is approximately five failed tests for every sixteen random screenings.
From July , the UFC has advocated to all commissions that every fighter be tested in competition for every card. Lorenzo Feritta , who at the time was one of the presidents of the UFC, said, "We want percent of the fighters tested the night they compete". Also, in addition to the drug testing protocols in place for competitors on fight night, the UFC conducts additional testing for main event fighters or any fighters that are due to compete in championship matches.
This includes enhanced, random 'out of competition' testing for performance-enhancing drugs, with both urine and blood samples being taken. The UFC also announced that all potential UFC signees would be subject to mandatory pre-contract screening for performance-enhancing drugs prior to being offered a contract with the promotion. The use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport has become an increasing problem across a wide range of sports.
Erythropoietin EPO is largely taken by endurance athletes who seek a higher level of red blood cells, which leads to more oxygenated blood, and a higher VO2 max. An athlete's VO2 max is highly correlated with success within endurance sports such as swimming, long-distance running, cycling, rowing, and cross-country skiing.
EPO has recently become prevalent amongst endurance athletes due to its potentcy and low degree of detectability when compared to other methods of doping such as blood transfusion. While EPO is believed to have been widely used by athletes in the s, there was not a way to directly test for the drug until as there was no specific screening process to test athletes. Stringent guidelines and regulations can lessen the danger of doping that has existed within some endurance sports. Henri spoke of being as white as shrouds once the dirt of the day had been washed off, then of their bodies being drained by diarrhea , before continuing:.
We kidded him a bit with our cocaine and our pills. Even so, the Tour de France in was no picnic. In , the entire Festina team were excluded from the Tour de France following the discovery of a team car containing large amounts of various performance-enhancing drugs. The team director later admitted that some of the cyclists were routinely given banned substances.
Six other teams pulled out in protest including Dutch team TVM who left the tour still being questioned by the police. The Festina scandal overshadowed cyclist Marco Pantani 's tour win, but he himself later failed a test. The infamous " pot belge " or "Belgian mix" has a decades-long history in pro cycling, among both riders and support staff. Floyd Landis was the initial winner of the Tour de France.

However, a urine sample taken from Landis immediately after his Stage 17 win has twice tested positive for banned synthetic testosterone as well as a ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone nearly three times the limit allowed by World Anti-Doping Agency rules. Lance Armstrong was world number one in In the same year he recovered from severe testicular cancer and continued to break records and win his seventh Tour de France in After beating cancer and breaking records he was accused of doping.
She remains the only Hawaii Ironman winner to be disqualified for doping offences. Sports lawyer Michelle Gallen has said that the pursuit of doping athletes has turned into a modern-day witch-hunt. In sports where physical strength is favored, athletes have used anabolic steroids , known for their ability to increase physical strength and muscle mass.
The drug has been used across a wide range of sports from football and basketball to weightlifting and track and field. While not as life-threatening as the drugs used in endurance sports, anabolic steroids have negative side effects, including:. Side effects in women include: In countries where the use of these drugs is controlled, there is often a black market trade of smuggled or counterfeit drugs.
The quality of these drugs may be poor and can cause health risks.
In countries where anabolic steroids are strictly regulated, some have called for a regulatory relief. Steroids are available over-the-counter in some countries such as Thailand and Mexico. Many sports organizations have banned the use of performance-enhancing drugs and have very strict rules and penalties for people who are caught using them.
The International Amateur Athletic Federation, now the International Association of Athletics Federations , were the first international governing body of sport to take the situation seriously. In they banned participants from doping, but with little in the way of testing available they had to rely on the word of the athlete that they were clean. Over the years, different sporting bodies have evolved differently in the struggle against doping. Some, such as athletics and cycling, are becoming increasingly vigilant against doping.
However, there has been criticism that sports such as football soccer and baseball are doing nothing about the issue, and letting athletes implicated in doping away unpunished.
Some commentators maintain that, as outright prevention of doping is an impossibility, all doping should be legalised. However, most disagree with this, pointing out the claimed harmful long-term effects of many doping agents. Opponents claim that with doping legal, all competitive athletes would be compelled to use drugs, and the net effect would be a level playing field but with widespread health consequences. Considering that anti-doping is largely ineffective due to both testing limitations and lack of enforcement, this is not markedly different from the situation already in existence.
Another point of view is that doping could be legalized to some extent using a drug whitelist and medical counseling, such that medical safety is ensured, with all usage published. Under such a system, it is likely that athletes would attempt to cheat by exceeding official limits to try to gain an advantage; this could be considered conjecture as drug amounts do not always correlate linearly with performance gains.
Under established doping control protocols, the participant [ clarification needed ] will be asked to provide a urine sample, which will be divided into two, each portion to be preserved within sealed containers bearing the same unique identifying number and designation respectively as A- and B-samples. According to Article 6. Samples from high-profile events, such as the Olympic Games , are now re-tested up to eight years later to take advantage of new techniques for detecting banned substances.
Donald Berry, writing in the journal Nature , has called attention to potential problems with the validity of ways in which many of the standardised tests are performed; [] [ subscription required ] in his article, as described in an accompanying editorial, Berry. The editorial closes, saying "Nature believes that accepting 'legal limits' of specific metabolites without such rigorous verification goes against the foundational standards of modern science, and results in an arbitrary test for which the rate of false positives and false negatives can never be known.
Sports scholar Verner Moller argues that society is hypocritical when it holds athletes to moral standards, but do not conform to those morals themselves. We live in a society of short cuts, of fake this and enhanced that, and somehow we keep trying to sell the line that sports has become this evil empire of cheating. The reality is athletes are merely doing what so many of us do and celebrate and watch every single day of our lives.
Sociologist Ellis Cashmore argues that what is considered doping is too arbitrary: Anti-doping policies instituted by individual sporting governing bodies may conflict with local laws. A notable case includes the National Football League NFL 's inability to suspend players found with banned substances, after it was ruled by a federal court that local labor laws superseded the NFL's anti-doping regime.
Athletes caught doping may be subject to penalties from their local, as well from the individual sporting, governing body. The legal status of anabolic steroids varies from country to country. Fighters found using performance-enhancing drugs in mixed martial arts competitions e. Under certain circumstances, when athletes need to take a prohibited substance to treat a medical condition, a therapeutic use exemption may be granted. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
