DESPITE THE SEVERE FIGHT AGAINST DOPING,
DURING THE LAST OLYMPIC GAMES 23 ATHLETES WERE DISQUALIFIED
War
against doping
One of the greatest problems and dangers of the modern sport in
general, and Olympic Games in particular, is use of illicit
stimulative substances, drugs, chemical and medical stuff, known as
doping. Consuming those substances short term, can provide
achievement of better results, if, of course athlete has other
necessary qualities. Long term consumation, however, can lead to
physiological, physical and health problems, and can lead to sudden
death even during the competition.
The wish for participation in the Olympic Games, and winning the
medal on that competition is big challenge for every athlete, that’s
why some of them in last few years, use all means to achieve the
supreme goal. Even during the early years of the XX century,
athletes used similar substances for improvement of their
capacities, and results. For example, marathon winner on the Olympic
Games in St. Louis, in 1904., Thomas Hicks received strihnin and
cognac, as stimulators from his coach, even during the race!
So, it lasted until the 60s, when sport federations started to
realise the malfunction of the doping and started to prohibit it,
while the IOC forbid it in 1967.
The athlete who unfamousely entered the history as the first
positive athlete on the doping control test, was Swedish modern
pentathlon athlete Hans-Gunar Lilenval, on the Olympic Games in
Mexico in 1968. In next 34 years, it was dicovered over 50 athletes
positive to doping, mostly in weight-lifting. However, the most
“famous” doping case in the history of sport, was the case of
Canadian runner Ben Jonson, in the Olympic Games in Seul in 1988. He
won the final of the 100m race, using illicit substance stanosolol,
that destroys the liver. His golden medal was taken, and the World
record from the race (9,79 sec.) was annuled.
Despite all tests, lots of athletes use doping and manage not being
couht “in the act”. It was only in 1990s when some evidence appeared
that lots of athletes, or let’s say big majority of athletes from
Eastern Germany, women in particular, used anabolic steroids and
other medical and chemical substances. Some of those women had to
deal with the consequences of the long term use of those substances:
some of them gave birth to sick children (sad cases of fomer top
swimmers from Eastern Germany who sovereignly rulled theworld
swimming pools in 1970s and 1980s). Fabulous American athlete
Florens Griffit Joyner, who set world records on 100m and 200m in
1988, died on 21. September 1998 in age of 39, in her sleep, from
complications caused by astma...(?)
Urged by these and similar, numerous examples and scandals, in late
90s the IOC started its severe fight against doping, and because of
that the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) was founded. On the Olympic
Games in 200. and 2002., that fight started to bring the results:
“victims” were some of the medal winners in weight-lifting ans
ski-running, since they’ve been positive on illicit stimulative
substances.
Despite all examples, warnings and threats, on the Olympic Games in
Athens in 2004, 23 competitors were disqualified because of
doping!!!
Unfortunately, it is more than obvious that the war against doping
is going to last for long time.
