Doping refers to drugs that artificially allow athletes to achieve the best results during competition. Moreover, a substance will be considered doping only if it is easily detected in the blood, urine of an athlete, etc.
Doping includes not only drugs created specifically to increase muscle strength and other characteristics, but also many drugs. Among them are diuretics, painkillers, etc. A strict ban on the use of doping drugs was adopted not only because of the fact that as a result of their use some athletes received awards undeservedly, but also due to the fact that such drugs have repeatedly led to death people both during and after the competition.
Doping drugs are divided into several groups. One of the most common are stimulants. Such drugs contain substances that act directly on the nervous system. These include, among others, caffeine, as well as some of the drugs that are used in medicines for colds and flu. During the competition, athletes sometimes have to give up even coffee.
Another popular group of doping drugs is anabolic steroids. They are especially often used and used by weightlifters, bodybuilders, etc. to significantly increase muscle mass. Anabolics are not instant drugs, and when they are taken, it is necessary to constantly maintain the desired level of physical activity. Such doping drugs, if used correctly, help to quickly develop strength, build muscle mass, etc., and if not used correctly, they lead to serious injury and death.
The Anti-Doping Committee also ensures that athletes do not use narcotic pain relievers. Such drugs dramatically reduce sensitivity to pain, and their use during competition is unacceptable. The use of diuretics is also prohibited. The fact is that due to the intake of such doping agents, one can greatly reduce body weight, which is important in some sports, as well as improve the figure for competitions in body fitness, gymnastics, etc. Moreover, diuretics significantly complicate the process of detecting other doping drugs. Finally, the use of peptide hormones is prohibited. When taking them, you can achieve a strong decrease in the threshold of pain sensitivity, an increase in muscle mass, etc.
