Drugs in sportDefinition of doping
Doping is the deliberate orinadvertant (accidental)use by athletes of bannedsubstances or methods thatmay enhance performance
7
Drugs in sport
1. Stimulants2. Narcotic analgesics3. Anabolic agents (a) anabolic androgenic steroids
(b) Beta-2 agonists4. Diuretics5. Peptide hormones & analogues6. Anti-oestrogenic compounds7. Masking agents
Banned substances or methods
Stimulants CNS stimulants
amphetamines caffeine
sympathomimetics cocaine
Amphetamines first used in 1930s narcolepsy, ADD delay fatigue increase alertness acute behavioural side-effects
8
Caffeine increased alertness shortened reaction time improved concentration diuretic effect ? glycogen sparing Urinary concentration of caffeine > 12
mg/L is illegal ?8 cups of coffee over 2-3 hours
Sympathomimetics diet pills cold remedies hay fever pills
Cocaine widely used in US deaths among athletes
Len Bias (Boston Celtics) Don Rogers (Cleveland Browns)
9
Narcotic analgesics e.g. dextropropoxyphene (Digesic)
destromoramide (Palfium),morphine, pethidine
Anabolic steroids anabolic androgenic steroids derivatives of testosterone
ν ⇑anabolic effectν ⇓androgenic effect
Anabolic steroids
hypogonadal males stimulate erythropoiesis carcinoma breast advanced osteoporosis
Clinical uses
10
Anabolic steroids
Do they work?
Anabolic steroids
⇒⇑ muscle size and strengthif…….. intense weight training adequate protein intake
11
Anabolic steroids sense of well-being feeling of increased energy increased aggression
12
Anabolic steroids ?effect on endurance
anticatabolic effect erythropoiesis
Anabolic steroids:side effects common most relatively minor usually reversible occasional serious side effects ?effect of long term use
13
Anabolic steroids:side effectsν ⇓ testicular size, sperm volumeν feminizationν abnormal liver functionν abnormal lipid profilesν hypertensionν skin changesν violence
14
Anabolic steroids:females menstrual irregularities deepening of voice male pattern baldness hirsutism alterered libido enlarged clitoris
Anabolic steroids:side effectsAdolescents acneν ⇑ facial and body hairν premature closure of epiphyseal
growth platesν male pattern baldnessν deepening of voice
15
Anabolic steroid and healthrisk behaviours 1 million users in USA spend more than $100 million 4-11% of male adolescents 0.5-2.9% of female
adolescents
Anabolic steroidsAddicted in same way as other drugs ⇒ roid rages severe mood liability aggressive or violent behaviour disinhibition impaired judgement anxiety, panic paranoid delusions
Withdrawal from the drug may also produce acutesymptomatology similar to that seen during alcoholand opioid withdrawal
16
Anabolic steroidsWhere are they obtained?
doctors gymnasiums mail order
Anabolic steroids cyclical pyramid stacking different steroids for different
needs
17
Beta 2 agonists All Beta 2 agonists are banned except
inhalants containing the ingredientssalbutamol and terbutaline e.g.Ventolin, Bricanyl, Respolin
Diuretics rapid loss of weight⇒ dangerous
excrete or dilute illegalsubstances
Peptide hormones andanalogues
Human growth hormone (HGH),human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG), corticotrophin (ACTH),erythropoeitin (EPO)
18
Human Growth Hormone(HGH)
produced by pituitary gland essential for normal growth treatment of dwarfism from cadavers since 1985 recombinant HGH
Insulin-like growthfactors (IGFs)Previously known assomatomedins
19
Erythropoietin naturally occurring hormone secreted by kidney stimulates bone marrow increased red blood cell production synthetic EPO available treatment of anaemia of chronic renal
failure
Eythropoietin Marked increase in haematocrit
increased oxygen carrying capacityof the blood
increase in viscosity of bloodespecially if associated withdehydration
potentially fatal
Prohibited methods1. Enhancement of oxygen transfer
- Blood doping- Modified haemoglobin products
2. Pharmacological, chemical and physicalmanipulation
3. Gene doping
20
Blood doping withdraw blood 6 weeks prior allow time for blood count to
return to normal reinfuse blood day or two before
competition
21
Pharmacological, chemical andphysical manipulation
administration of diuretics catheterization sample substitution inhibition of renal excretion
Gene Doping ? the future ? legal ? undetectable ? ethical
Drugs in sportRestricted substances
alcohol cannabinoids local anaesthetic glucocorticosteroids beta blockers
22
Corticosteroids Corticosteroids are permitted under the
following conditions: creams, ointments, eye drops, inhalants
e.g. Becotide, local injections
Beta blockers Beta blockers will only be tested
for in sports where they are likelyto enhance performance e.g.archery, shooting, bobsleigh,diving, luge, modern pentathlon,ski jumping
Drugs in sportWhat drugs are tested for in acompetition test? anabolic steroids stimulants diuretics narcotic analgesics (ex codeine) peptide hormones masking agents
23
Drugs in sportWhat drugs are tested for in anout-of-competition test? anabolic steroids diuretics masking agents
24
Why athletes take drugs1. Belief that their competitors are taking drugs2. Do anything possible to succeed3. Pressure from coaches, parents & peers4. Pressure from authorities5. Lack of access to legal methods to enhance
performance6. Community attitudes and expectations regarding
success and performance7. Financial rewards8. Influence of media in facilitating expectations and
rewards
