- iusport: On the competence of the State in matters of doping
- iusport: In sports, doping is prohibited for several key reasons. Primarily, it's about fairness and ensuring a level playing field for all athletes. When athletes use prohibited substances or methods, they gain an artificial advantage, which undermines the integrity of the competition. Secondly, there are significant health concerns associated with doping. Many performance-enhancing drugs can have serious, long-term side effects, including cardiovascular problems, psychological issues, and an increased risk of certain cancers, among others. Finally, doping damages the spirit of sport. Sport is meant to celebrate human effort, dedication, and talent. When doping is involved, it sends a message that winning at any cost is acceptable, which can corrupt the values that sport should uphold.
