1. DRUGS Learning Objectives:
Know which drugs athletes take to enhance performance
Understand the effects of drugs on the body
Understand the effects of drugs on sporting performance

2. Banned Substances
All performance enhancing drugs are banned by sporting governing bodies such as the I.O.C
They can improve performance BUT they can damage the body

3. Restricted drugs
Alcohol
Cannabis
Local anaesthetics
Prohibited drugs
Stimulants
Narcotic analgesics
Anabolic steroids
Diuretics
Peptide hormones
Beta blockers
Prohibited methods
Blood doping
Pharmacological, chemical and physical manipulation

4. Most commonly used in sport
Anabolic Agents
Most commonly used in sport
Inject into blood stream
Build up muscles – allow you to train longer
BUT
Cause high blood pressure,
heart disease,
Infertility,
Cancer,
Body and facial hair,
Deeper voice.
Example: testosterone

6. Second most commonly used
Stimulants
Second most commonly used
Make reaction time quicker
Increase aggression – feel less pain
Work for longer without getting fatigued
ADDICTIVE!
Athletes can train too hard – cause injury
high blood pressure
heart and liver problems
Example: Cocaine, Caffeine
So what sports would benefit from them?

7. Narcotic Analgesics BUT Usually injected Kills pain
Addictive – unpleasant withdrawal symptoms
Can over train
Constipation
Low blood pressure
Death
Example: Heroin, Morphine

8. Peptide Hormones Similar effects to steroids – muscle building Strokes
Abnormal Growth
Example: EPO (Substance that copies natural hormones of the body)

9. Erythropoietin (EPO)
Synthetic hormone – copies natural hormones of body
Increases red blood cell count
Stimulates bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, improving oxygen uptake
BUT - Can lead to stroke heart attack by thickening blood

10. So what sports would benefit from them?
Diuretics
Make you urinate – weight loss
Can mask traces of other drugs
Cramp
Fatigue
Dehydration
So what sports would benefit from them?

11. Beta Blockers
Completely banned in sports that require a steady hand and calm nerve = archery, snooker
Block adrenaline
Slow heart rate, breathing rate, B.P
Suppress feelings of anxiety and nervous tension - relaxant
Side effects - Depression
- They can reduce the HR so much that there is a danger that the heart may stop.

12. Drug Testing 2 urine samples – A and B ‘A’ is tested
If positive then ‘B’ is checked
Refusing test –serious as failing one
Positive tests = ban

13. CASE STUDY – Group Presentation
TASK
CASE STUDY – Group Presentation
Must : Research an athlete who has taken drugs to enhance sporting performance
What drug did they use?
How did it enhance performance?
Should: Research what happened to them? i.e. side effects/ban
Could: Research that drug in more detail – what are all of the possible effects on the body and how could it improve sporting performance?
