– Psychological function (head trip)

II. Any substances used in medicine

• Reduce Fatigue

• Increase competitiveness

• Increase hostility

• Loss of Judgement

i) Amphetamineii) Sympathomimetic amines.

ephedrine, pseudoephedrine.Phenyl propanolamine,

– Mental stimulation– Increase blood flow– Elevate BP.– Headache – Fast, irregular heart beat– Anxiety, Tremor

iii) Beta-2 agonist

(both stimulants & anabolic).

- Only salbutamol, formeterol and

salmeterol permitted

B. NarcoticsUsed to relieve pain

• Leads to respiratory depression• Physical & Psychological dependence

Example: Heroin (diamorphine) Morphine

Methadone Pethidine Pentazodine

Note

In some cough mixture:

CODEINE

Dextromethorphan are permitted

Diphenoxylat

Dihydrocodeine

C. Anabolic Agents

(i) Anababolic androgenic steroids (AAS)

• Testosterone & related, Nondrolone

• Increase muscle bulk & strength, stanozol

• Promote aggressiveness

• Affect : liver, skin, heart, kidney

• Can induce psychiatric problem

Male: testis size sperm count

Female: masculinization loss of breast tissue

diminished menser

Teenagers: stunt growth

(ii) Beta – 2 Agonist.

Powerful anabolic (muscle – building)• Salbutamatamol

• Terbutaline

D. DiureticsEliminates excess body Fluid & treatment of BPMisused by athletes.

• Quickly – reduce body weight• Diluting the Urine

Example : DiamoxLasixMannitolHydrochlorthiczib

E. Peptide & Glycoprotein

i. Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin – HCG increase androgenic steroids

ii. Corticotrophin (ACTH)iii. Growth Hormone: (Somatotrophic)

– Hypertension– Diabetes– Cardiomyopathy– Muscle Abnormalities– Acromegay

iv. Erythropoeitin (EPO)– Produce in kidney

II. Doping Methods

A. Blood Doping

Admin of blood, RBC & related.– Autologous transfusion

– Homologus transfusion

Risk – allergic reaction, fever, jaundice,transmission of infection circulation overload shock.

B. Pharmacological, Chemical and Physical

Manipulation

Used of substances and methods to change the integrity and validity of the Urine.

Example: Cathetherisation.

Urine substitution/ tampering– Inhibition of Urine

Drug Test Procedures

1. After an event, you will be notified

2. A chaperone will accompany – to drug control waiting room

3. Choose a sample collection fit

4. Need 80ml. Urine

5. Choose a pair of security transit container

6. Check & open the kits

7. Pour sample into A & B bottle

8. Close & reseal the kit

9. Drug control Officer will checks the Ph & specific gravity

10.Tag numbers on Drug Testing form

11.Declaration any medication

12.Check and sign the form

4 Important Principles

1. Be honest with athletes• Advantages

• Side effect of drugs

2. Health Education

3. Random, internationally verified, out – of –competition drug testing

4. Society’s attitude
