The Psychology of Doping in Sport
Drugs and methods to improve the physical performance of athletes have been used since the dawn of sports history, but the use of performance-enhancing drugs has not always been considered cheat. In short, the motives of doping are to improve and maintain physical performance, manage social/psychological pressures, and pursue social and psychological goals, including economic gain. Factors such as the "doping dilemma", "win at all costs", the cost-benefit ratio and the specificity of certain doping agents also play an important role. It appears that influencing athletes' attitudes towards physical improvement and creating effective methods for disclosing drug abuse are the two main ways to win the war against doping.
The use of performance-enhancing drugs (PED) and methods of improving physical performance in athletes is as old as the history of sport itself, and has been a hallmark of human competition ever since. The evolving knowledge and use of various drugs and substances has been described in different cultures and periods throughout history, such as the ancient Egyptians, Greek athletes, and Roman gladiators. The reasons for using PED have remained largely unchanged. However, the use of PED has not always been considered illegal. Athletes of all ages seem to feel the urge to perform at their best in competition because of the pride, glory and honor associated with success and victory. Today, with modern media exposure, an athlete can become world famous overnight. The prospect of receiving an incredible “winner takes it all” prize money can erode the honor as the primary driving force for athletes. This can lure athletes into short-sighted solutions, including doping, to gain both honor and money, regardless of sports ethics rules or legal violations.
