Pregunta Respuesta
Altitude training (live high:train low, Hypoxic tents, IHT) Percieved brenefits increased RBC volume, Haemoglobin volume and concentration and capillarisation, increased HGH production
Altitude training (live high:train low, Hypoxic tents, IHT) Potential harms reduced stroke volume & cardiac output, increased blood viscosity, decreased VO2 max
Altitude training (live high:train low, Hypoxic tents, IHT) Common Sports Endurance events
Creatine supplementation Common Sports repeated short,max efforts: short interval training: high intensity resistance training
Creatine supplementation Perceived Benefits enhanced performance for events involving repeated sprints, separated by short recovery intervals.
Creatine supplementation Potential harms gastrointestinal upset, tendon injury, headaches, kidney problems, muscle cramps, fluid retention
Blood doping Common sports Endurance events
Blood doping Perceived benefits Increased number of red blood cells, increased oxygen carrying capacity & VO2 max
Blood doping Potential harms Contraction of blood-borne viruses (hep B, AIDS), blood clots, heart failure, stroke, death
Gene doping (prohibited by WADA in 2005) Common sports All Sports
Gene doping (prohibited by WADA in 2005) Perceived benefits Provides the greatest opportunity to improve an athletes suitability to a certain sport, improved training, recovery and performance
Gene doping (prohibited by WADA in 2005) Potential harms Potential harms are still unknown as this method has not been developed yet
Steroids Common sports Sports requiring Muscular Strength and Power
Steroids Perceived benefits Increased muscle bulk, power, strength, aggression, increased speed of recovery which allows longer/harder training
Steroids Potential harms Dependence, depression, hypertension, cancer, sudden death, salt & water retention, testicular atrophy, male breast enlargement, facial hair, infertility, increased masculinity, higher LDL cholesterol
Human Growth & Polypeptide hormones Common Sports Sports which rely on muscular strength & power
Human Growth & Polypeptide hormones Perceived benefits Enhanced muscle and bone development, anti-inflammatory effect, mask the use of Steroids, give a feeling of euphoria
Human Growth & Polypeptide hormones Potential harms Sodium and water retention, decreased immune function, diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, cancer, impotence
EPO Common Sports Endurance events
EPO Perceived benefits Increased number of red blood cells, increased oxygen carrying capacity & VO2 max
EPO Potential Harms Blood clotting, stroke, hypertension, heart failure, stroke
Masking agents Common sports All sports
Masking agents Perceived benefits Can mask the use of other methods/substances by: promoting urination, block excretion of anabolic agents, alter RBC parameters, correct altered testosterone ratios
Masking agents Potential harms Dehydration, cramp, cardiac arrhythmia, kidney stones, acute arthritis, hair loss, nausea, skin rash, fever
Diuretics Common sports Boxing & Weightlifting
Diuretics Perceived benefits Mask use of Steroids, reduce body weight quickly
Diuretics Potential harms Dehydration, cramps, muscle strains, cardiac arrhythmia
Stimulants (cocaine, caffeine, amphetamines) Common sports Athletics, swimming, weightlifting, cycling
Stimulants (cocaine, caffeine, amphetamines) Perceived benefits Mask fatigue, increase alertness & aggression, improve muscle reaction, improved anaerobic performance
Stimulants (cocaine, caffeine, amphetamines) Potential harms Anxiety, restlessness, tremors, irritability, cardiac arrhythmia, stomach upsets, dependence, heart attack
Beta-blockers Common sports Shooting & Archery
Beta-blockers Perceived benefits Reduced Heart Rate, tension and tremors, increased relaxation and AVO2 Diff
Beta-blockers Potential harms Dangerous for asthmatics, heart failure, hypotension, hypoglycemia, impotence
