Doping in Sports

Elite sports requires the reasoned development and fair implementation of rules and regulations across nations K P Mohan details how doping regulations are applied and misapplied in India, underlining the disarray in sports administration. At a time when doping is threatening to isolate nations from the mainstream of Olympic sports, and Russia is struggling to shed its ‘state-sponsored’ doping image to retain its place in the world of sports, India seems unperturbed by its status as one of the leading countries in the world of doping.

The author argues, with grave evidence that India needs to devise better programmes of educating athletes and implementing regulations.

Olympic anti-doping laboratory: the analytical technological road from 2016 Rio De Janeiro to 2021 Tokyo

The summer Olympic Games is the major mega sports event since the first modern era Olympiad, held in Athens, Greece in 1896. International Olympic Committee (IOC) has the responsibility of the organization of the summer and winter Games ensuring the broadcast in all corners of earth. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is the responsible organization of the fight against doping in sports. IOC and WADA support the event's country WADA Accredited Laboratory to incorporate the maximum of the new analytical technologies to become applicable during the event's antidoping testing. The current study reviewed the last 5 years progresses of the antidoping system with emphasis on the laboratory field.

The Attitude of High-Class Athletes to Doping in Sports and Measures to Counter It

The subject of the study is the attitude of high-class athletes to doping in sports and measures to counter it. The methodology of the work consists in the application of a set of techniques and methods that made it possible to use an integrated approach to the research. The results of the study are systematized data on attitudes towards and awareness of doping, analysis of the prevalence of information about doping in sports, identification of causes, consequences and determination of methods to combat it based on the data of surveys of high-class athletes for the period from 2019 to 2021. The scope of application of the research results affects the sports of the Russian Federation. The novelty of the study lies in the assessment of the state and potential of doping in sports in Russia over the course of 3 years. According to the results of the study, the main trends of athletes opinions about doping were identified, revealing the possibilities of improving the fight against doping in sports, which will ultimately contribute to improving the anti-doping culture in the country.

PEDAGOGICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECTS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST DOPING IN SPORT

Organization of the educational process on anti-doping support in a sports university

Main problem: the organization of anti-doping education of students assumes the presence of a specialized discipline "Fundamentals of anti-doping support" and the inclusion of anti-doping topics in classical disciplines. The formation of a number of competencies in the field of anti-doping education requires new interactive forms of organization of activities that take place in the development of both disciplines of the medical and biological cycle, as well as sports, pedagogical and social disciplines. A conscious perception of the industry problems associated with the use of doping in sports and the health of the nation provides knowledge of chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, sports medicine. Purpose: study of the organization of the educational process for anti-doping support in a sports university. Methods: today, the main methodological innovations are associated with the use of interactive learning technologies. The learning process, based on the use of interactive teaching methods, is organized taking into account the inclusion of all participants in the learning process. An educational communication environment is created, which is characterized by openness, interaction of participants, equality of their arguments, accumulation of joint knowledge, and the possibility of mutual evaluation. The organization of the educational process on anti-doping support for InEU students assumes the presence in the educational program of a specialized discipline "Fundamentals of anti-doping Support" and the introduction of components of anti-doping education in already established disciplines. Results and their significance: the organization of the educational process on anti-doping support for InEU students assumes the presence of a specialized discipline "Fundamentals of anti-doping Support" in Educaional Program and the inclusion of components of anti-doping education in the formed disciplines.
