Researcher Kelsey Erickson conducted a study of 28 collegiate level track and field athletes from the United States and the United Kingdom Fourteen athletes from each country were asked four questions about their views on PED usage and how they would react to knowing a teammate or competitor was using illegal substances The study participants knew that doing PEDs was wrong and stated they would not use them whether or not they would report another athlete varied depending on the situation “It seems choices regarding blowing the whistle on doping are not dependant on titles but The athletes were more inclined to keep the secret of a close teammate than of someone they did not have a friendly and close relationship with athletes said they were more likely to address the person who was abusing the substance or report the PED abuse to a superior who was not affiliated with the anti-doping efforts than to WADA WADA has attempted to focus on doping prevention through an intelligence-driven approach “Doping prevention requires a multifaceted approach that involves testing ongoing conversation and intelligence-led investigations,” Erickson said “The anti-doping landscape is constantly moving so the approach to deterrence cannot be stagnant – it has to constantly evolve and grow.” Despite millions of dollars devoted to PED prevention and deterrence The study indicates student-athletes find a community-based personally-addressing-the-user approach more appealing than whistleblowing or reporting the athlete This raises the question moving forward whether efforts should be focused on encouraging confrontation to stop PED use rather than the original methods Lauren Chiangpradit is a junior sports journalism major at Arizona State University Editor’s note: For the coming 2019-2020 academic year the Global Sport Institute’s research theme will be “Sport and the body.” The Institute will conduct and fund research and host events that will explore a myriad of topics related to the body including the use of performance enhancement techniques Has WADA helped or hurt the anti-doping movement?

Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited list but it’s probably best to start with the tortellini Ring-shaped stuffed pasta is not considered a performance-enhancer and that is unlikely to change unless sheer carbohydrate-based deliciousness turns out be a more powerful force than metabolic scientists yet comprehend But in the case of Italian tennis player Sara Errani  tortellini was enough to bring a halt to her career And there may be no more stark example of how modern performance-enhancing drug testing for athletes has drifted from well-intentioned policing into rampant absurdism dropping a letrozole pill in a pot of broth and a meat mixture used to make their tortellini in order to confirm that it would dissolve and prove undetectable (it did Yet in June of 2018 — after the Court for Arbitration in Sport accepted the validity of Errani’s story — Errani’s suspension for this culinary mix-up was extended from two months to 10 months “I am really disgusted by this matter,” said Errani who claimed she was uncertain whether she’d keep playing professional tennis once her suspension was lifted “I don't think anything similar has ever happened or been managed — in my humble opinion — in such a shameful manner.” which means it’s used by male athletes to prevent “feminizing” side effects during a steroid cycle and it doesn’t appear to boost athletic performance in any real way While not quite as benign as pasta, “everyone agrees it’s not a performance enhancer,” said University of Colorado professor Roger Pielke who has spent several years studying the scientific flaws in WADA’s drug-testing policies Yet Sara Errani’s ability to play tennis has been halted by And the larger question is: How did we get here though there was no testing for them — but with McGwire and Sammy Sosa obliterating home-run records during that 1998 season the issue was brought into the spotlight in ways it had never been part of a worldwide cultural tipping point the International Olympic Committee convened a conference on doping in sport in Switzerland which was tasked to create a single international standard for doping and performance-enhancing drug usage are we better off than we were before the curtain was pulled back on athletes such as Sosa and McGwire Have WADA and other drug-testing efforts reduced the level of doping in sports Or have they simply introduced more confusion and surprisingly little hard science into the way these issues are governed “WADA emerged in response to scandals in the 1990s,” said Scottish researcher Paul Dimeo. “The problem is that the scandals continue and the true extent of doping remains unknown Which means we can’t say for certain if WADA is doing a good job.” WADA has made progress in “harmonizing and legitimizing” the concept of anti-doping Questions about WADA often center on the lack of due process and transparency in cases such as Errani’s or on the unresolved science about the effects of many of the substances and methods on the prohibited list There are also bigger and more existential questions looming and they get at the very heart of what we want sports to be is it even possible to prevent athletes from experimenting with substances and methods to gain an edge And if we can’t ever truly level the playing field is increasing prohibition just going to worsen the problem In other words: Is the very principle WADA was founded on flawed “You look at the history of this, and they’ve never been able to make real inroads,” said Charles Yesalis a longtime steroid researcher who is now a professor emeritus at Penn State University Do you think an athlete from an African country has the advantage of another athlete from a wealthier country There are billions of dollars at stake here.” In 2017, a group of scientists and experts critical of current doping policies attended the International Network of Doping Research Conference and came away with a list of researched criticisms of WADA that cut to the very heart of WADA’s mission And all of it has further eroded faith in WADA’s ability to handle such issues Without “trust and integrity from all organizations…the whole process can be corrupted,” Dimeo said But cases such as Errani’s have eroded that trust The perception among many athletes is that WADA’s regulations are confusing and complex and that the adjudication process is opaque and shrouded in secrecy WADA’s list of prohibited substances has grown 100 percent in the past decade and the process for adding substances to the list is “not very transparent There are also questions whether WADA has the resources or the ability to test for all these things given that the science surrounding many of the substances and methods on the list hasn’t been revolved “There’s some stuff that’s banned that probably shouldn’t be,” said steroid researcher Victoria Felkar “And there’s some stuff that isn’t banned that probably should be.” Yet another example of this might be found in the case of another star tennis player who tested positive for a substance she said she didn’t even know was banned On Jan. 1, 2016, WADA announced that it would ban meldonium, a Latvian medication used to treat heart and cardiovascular diseases, in response to what it said was an increasing number of athletes using the drug. This, despite the fact there is a dearth of research on meldonium and its performance-enhancing effects. One anti-doping expert, Don Catlin, told USA Today “There’s really no evidence that there’s any performance enhancement from meldonium About 140 athletes tested positive for meldonium in the three months after it was banned underscoring WADA’s position that use of the drug was widespread and WADA had banned the drug based on the notion that athletes were using meldonium with the intent of enhancing performance “We can think of performance-enhancing drugs as innocent until proven guilty, or guilty until proven innocent — which is that, if an athlete’s taking it, there must be something nefarious going on,” said Pielke who heads the Sports Governance Center at the University of Colorado “That’s how you get to a list of 300 substances.” WADA scored its highest-profile meldonium user to date: tennis star Maria Sharapova who said she was prescribed the drug a decade earlier after doctors saw irregularities on her electrocardiograms (and may have been confused because she knew meldonium by its brand name before having her suspension reduced to 15 months Sharapova later wondered if she was targeted by anti-doping investigators in order to set an example for others; other athletes complained that they tested positive for the drug because traces remained in their system after the ban took effect But this leads to further frustration from athletes who feel that they’re often beholden to a process that they have trouble understanding and offers limited opportunities for due process The most recent example of this: A law passed by the government in Quebec grants WADA officials immunity from civil lawsuits “If we were to say executives at Exxon were immune from civil lawsuits but it’s important to understand … how these institutions can be held accountable these are not just international sports issues Pielke offered an example: If caught taking human growth hormone in the NFL and have much fewer substances on their lists,” Pielke said leagues is that their anti-doping policies are determined in partnership with their athletes.” So is there a way to find a happy medium between sports turning into a “chemical freak show,” as Pielke put it and a doping protocol that isn’t unnecessarily confusing and prohibitive Dimeo offered a thought: What if we abandon the “level-playing field” notion and focus more on health instead of performance-enhancement “Protecting athletes’ welfare should be paramount,” said Dimeo, who pointed out doping and corruption often go hand-in-hand “The level-playing field is a vague abstraction and assumes some form of ‘natural parity.’ Also athletes have so many other performance-enhancing methods that we’ve lost the logical underpinning.” This, of course, would require more scientific study. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has advocated for more studies of human growth hormone to determine what effects it could have on performance and recovery that list of 300 could be culled to something more reasonable and understandable more focused on substances that are known to enhance performance and could cause harm WADA was forced to cut its list to 30 or so substances that we know can enhance performance “One idea is that if there’s a substance out there that doesn’t even have the performance kick that caffeine does why are we even worrying about it?” he said said one steroid researcher who preferred to remain anonymous the playing field is never going to be level it will depend upon the country you hail from and the way you’re able to take advantage of the system Michael Weinreb is a freelance writer for several outlets and is working on a book about football as it relates to the evolution of American culture Did flawed data lead track astray on testosterone in women?

contact details are: 89 Johnny Nic pays tribute to the only good thing about Newcastle in recent years and perhaps the only Magpie who might survive the Saudi cull… He got his career start at Saint-Etienne in 2013-14 His speed and direct play attracted Monaco in 2015-16 who bought him but loaned him out immediately first to Hannover 96 for whom he played 18 games He played 36 games and scored three times but they were relegated anyway He returned to Monaco who had just won the league title played two games and was sold to Nice where he played under Lucien Favre for a season (and may do so again at Newcastle) and then Patrick Vieira finishing seventh and eighth His 74 games and 11 goals caught the eye of Newcastle United A precocious kid he’d scored some cracking goals before he was 20 He joined in August 2019 on a mighty six-year deal for £20million He sits atop NUFC’s wage bill on £83,000 per week just ahead of our old not-really-a-footballer-friend Joelinton who picks up 80 grand every seven days for he’s made 32 appearances for the France youth sides but has yet to earn a full cap That’s not so surprising when you look at the breadth and depth Didier Deschamps has to choose from right now He’s played 211 club games so far and scored 24 times Those are the basic facts but that does not begin to tell the full story of the man we shall call ASM Everybody loves… Alan Shearer | David Ginola Though the crowd have long been subdued and silenced by the poor fare they’re regularly served up there is a loud purr goes around St James’ Park and people literally get up off their seat as he presses the accelerator and speeds towards goal There is a widespread sense that he might just be about to score the most brilliant goal that any of us have ever seen and as soon as he begins to run with the ball Can you think of any other player who engenders such anticipation The Newcastle public are all big fans of ASM because for the last three seasons he has been pretty much the only source of joy and entertainment they have had very fast with the ball is possibly football’s most exciting quality when you’re in the stands and can see the whole of the pitch On TV you can’t really get a sense of the dynamism of the movement until the camera pulls right out and even then TV robs you of the fizz and buzz in the crowd that comes as he takes off The only context to properly appreciate him is live he speeds ahead without any real sense of where he’s going and what he’s going to do when he gets there so it is all as much a surprise to him as the opponents but that is to do him a bit of an injustice he and everyone else knows that he can’t rely on any of his teammates being good enough to do anything if he gives the ball to them so keeping it for as long as possible and trying to lay it on a plate for someone to try and score if he can’t do so himself Is there anyone faster than ASM in the league His 11 assists in his 64 games is a good return for a team that lacks a top rank striker of any sort and whose top scorer in the last three seasons has scored just 13 But on top of being a dynamic pay-to-see-him-play man with his Gucci headband – which had to be turned around due to the bizarre Premier League advertising rules The league is so greedy that having the brand name showing on anything contravenes their rules Those rules being ‘give us your f***ing money’ It cares more about such things than who it allows to own clubs Apparently ASM regularly gets fined by the club for wearing earrings at times when he shouldn’t but then when you’re picking up the thick end of £300,000 every month whether it is direct through the middle of the pitch heading right down the throat of the goal his style of running can be best described as ‘dashing’ He definitely dashes he’s got decent close control and that assist number suggests he can find a team-mate when he needs to It’s a shame that so many of them are not on his level or his wavelength He loves the designer fashions and apparently lives in Newcastle with his three kids so we can assume he’s put a fair few quid in the local upscale menswear store’s owners pockets in the last three years Footballers have long been a godsend to the independent menswear outlets all over the country Extravagant; that’s the word to describe him He plays in an extravagant manner and he dresses in an extravagant style if it’s made by an upmarket designer label our Allan will be the first to get it He’s had a range of bizarre goal celebrations one of which at Nice appeared to involve climbing an imaginary set of stairs and flushing a toilet doesn’t seem to take football too seriously and that is the correct attitude to have in these days when professionalism has killed so much entertainment in a bleak time for the club – you might argue the new owners have made it even more bleak – ASM has been a hot fire on too many cold days This is uncynical football played for the joy of it… – That he might score the best goal anyone’s ever seen every time he touches the ball We were told we were getting damaged goods a player with loads of pace and an awful attitude Hard to think of a player with a better attitude towards the fans Helps that he’s also tremendous fun to watch — Rob Farquharson (@Bocafuente) October 14, 2021 – The game has become very structured and about patterns and he’s just there splashing entertainment on what is largely a very functional side he’s the kind of player you’d enjoy watching play for your team Gets the responsibility to help the less fortunate in the city Gets the fun in taking the piss out of the mackems Gets what it means to entertain on and off the pitch — Peter Edmiston (@peteredmiston) October 14, 2021 – he may never ‘make the most’ of his talent in terms of honours… – He’s not afraid of having a personality – I like how his name sounds like a “twinned with” French town (that you’ve never heard of) on a “Welcome to…” sign you see just as you enter an English village (that you’ve never heard of) because the sat nav has found a creative route to your B&B on the way to a wedding venue he’s got a sense of humour and seems very much down to earth hopefully he’ll stay here for a very long time – He’s been a shining beacon of fun and positivity for a set of fans who haven’t had much to take enjoyment from in the last few years giving time and money to local food banks and the @NU_Foundation you can imagine him one day showcasing his talent for France and for a big club in the Champions League but Saint-Maximin is one of the few players that has you shifting to the edge of your seat in anticipation every time he gets the ball but if they stop being a failing club and become a side full of really good players will he stand out as much It’s one thing warming the Geordie hearts when everyone else is sh*te You didn’t have to play that well to stand out in this Newcastle side The pressures will also be very different once money is spent and players come in all the players had a sort of get-out clause: Mike Ashley Things must be set to change and change quickly NUFC fans are sick of how things have been and want some bang for their buck and they want it now There’ll be little patience for being sensible and treating things in a business-like manner then ASM will be a vital part of it and if he isn’t he’ll go somewhere else and dash around the pitch like a labrador puppy let off the leash in the park for the first time and we will bloody love him for it © Planet Sport Limited 2025 • All Rights Reserved Everything you need to know about Newcastle United maverick Allan Saint-Maximin Allan Saint-Maximin is a French professional footballer who currently plays as a winger for Newcastle United in the Premier League Saint-Maximin began his football career at the age of six with local club Les Ulis He then joined the youth ranks at Saint-Etienne in 2013 where he developed his skills and caught the attention of scouts from across Europe After making just one first-team appearance for the French outfit they loaned him out immediately to gain regular first-team football first to Hannover 96 for whom he featured in 18 games where he made 36 appearances and scored three times but they were relegated anyway so regular minutes were difficult to come by and he only played two games before being sold to OGC Nice Here he played under Lucien Favre for a season His speed and direct play attracted Newcastle and they bought him for a reported fee of £16.5m in August 2019 The 26-year-old has made a strong impression at St quickly becoming a fan favourite thanks to his fearless dribbling and natural flair He went on to make 26 appearances in his debut season scoring three goals and providing four assists he continued to be a key player for the club helping the Magpies stave off relegation in the last two seasons before playing a vital role in their climb up the table in recent times as Eddie Howe's men recently reached their first cup final in 22 years and remain in contention for a place in the Champions League this season What are the 15 things you absolutely need to know about the Newcastle trickster As is often the case when doping allegations are made the debate over whether seven times Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong took EPO in 1999 is rapidly moving from the scientific sphere into the legal and Lance Armstrong strongly denies any wrongdoing the report in L'Equipe that the American's urine samples contained banned blood-boosting substance EPO is very unlikely to lead to any retroactive sanctions Officials from the organisations involved - cycling's ruling body French sports ministry officials and Tour de France organisers - agree normal anti-doping proceedings have not been followed the head of the Chatenay-Malabry laboratory which conducted the tests made it clear they were carried out for only scientific purposes and had no legal value because only one sample was tested no sanction can be taken against an athlete if one sample The samples have been frozen since being taken during the 1999 Tour A test to detect EPO did not exist at the time who has denied ever taking performance-enhancing drugs during his career and has never failed a dope test summed up the legal implications in midweek how can you put a guy's name or prosecute a guy like that when he has no defence "I know two pieces of the WADA code that are very important it is strictly mandated that that sample must always remain anonymous "If any WADA-accredited laboratory wants to use that sample for experimentation or scientific research they must have the approval of the athlete you have two serious violations of the new WADA code," he said who has had to face repeated doping allegations by French media since his first victory in 1999 hinted he might not take legal action over the French newspaper report He is currently suing the authors of a book alleging he took drugs "Who do you take action against in this case a cancer survivor deeply involved in working with others suffering from the disease said he had better things to do with his money than indulge in another costly court battle the way in which the results of the tests on Armstrong's 1999 samples have been obtained is in breach of anti-doping procedures Comparisons have been made with the BALCO case which led to American sprinters being banned for taking the THG steroid The athletes did not fail dope tests for the steroid at the time of racing as it was unknown They were banned after tests were carried out in secret Tour de France deputy director Christian Prudhomme said the big difference was that in the BALCO case US athletes were banned after being shown undeniable evidence of testing which had been properly carried out confusion rather than clarity surrounds the L'Equipe accusations The problem is that the French scientists tested bottles bearing numbers and these names would never have been leaked if proper protocol had been followed please register for free or log in to your account.
