“…Independent of state socialization, older people and former athletes are less likely to believe that doping is "normal" in professional sports (column (1)). This finding is in line with the scant empirical literature on this topic (Bloodworth and McNamee (2010)). In contrast, older people are more likely to believe that athletes are victims of the system (column (3)).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper studies the long-term impact of societal socialization on values using the example of doping behavior in sports. We apply the German Reunification Approach to the microcosm of Berlin and exploit its 40-year long division into a capitalist and a communist sector. We deliberately chose attitudes toward doping to test the impact of ideology on values since (i) post-1989 disappointed economic hopes did not confound doping attitudes, and because of (ii) the systematic GDR state doping activities that became public in reunified Germany in the 1990s. Our findings demonstrate that even after half the time the division lasted, e.g. 20 years after the reunification, differences in convictions continue to persist. Personal extramural sports experience and age are equally strong predictors of individual attitudes and beliefs, especially in interaction with ideological socialization.

“…However, to date, this literature has generally offered only superficial insights into the practice of doping because of three major issues (Kirby, Moran, & Guerin, 2011). The first issue is that samples typically consist of non-doping athletes (e.g., Bloodworth & McNamee, 2010). The second issue is that questionnaire based studies (e.g., Waddington, Malcolm, Roderick, & Naik, 2005) have offered pre-determined motives (e.g., financial gain, desire to win, etc.)…”

Although the use of banned drugs in sport is not a new phenomenon, little is known about the experiences and perceptions of athletes who have committed anti-doping rule violations. This study qualitatively explored the experiences of 18 athletes (from the sports of bodybuilding, powerlifting, cricket, sprint kayak, rugby league, and swimming) who had committed antidoping violations. Themes explored included motivations for initiating and maintaining doping, the psychology of doping, deterrents to doping, and views on current anti-doping policy. In most cases doping had started early in their careers. The perceived culture of the sport was considered central to the ' normalization' of doping, particularly in bodybuilding.When explaining their decision to dope, athletes engaged in processes or moral disengagement (including advantageous comparison, minimizing consequences and diffusion of responsibility). Ironically, moral arguments were perceived as the most effective deterrents to doping. Findings are discussed in relation to the difficulties in establishing credible deterrents and suggestions for the future development of anti-doping policy.Final frontier: 2

“…At present, there can be no guarantee of the purity of any commercial supplement. Supplements use among athletes is widespread [7,16], with by 62.7% of the Japanese national YOG team reporting that they used supplements for health and well-being [17]. It is necessary for coaches to raise athletes' awareness of the possibility that supplements may include substances prohibited under anti-doping regulations.…”

“…Therefore, coaches must also understand anti-doping programs and seek to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport. There are many anti-doping surveys designed for school students and athletes [7][8][9][10] however, research and comparisons that consider international comparisons of anti-doping in coaches is limited.…”

Objective: To reveal the understanding among judo coaches from different countries on anti-doping, and their understanding of how this is intrinsically valuable to sport.Design: Survey study.Participants: 74 British coaches (UK coaches) and 66 Japanese coaches (JPN coaches) certified by the British Judo Association or the All Japan Judo Federation, as appropriate.Results: Most of both countries' coaches knew National Anti-Doping Organization and World Anti-Doping Agency. Almost of JPN coaches had attended an anti-doping workshop, however many of UK coaches had never attended such a workshop. There are aimed to compare the two countries' views of doping along the social, educational, ethical, and health-related aspects. The results from Question 7.1 (I agree with the act of doping), Question 7.6 (Doping enables judoka to improve their performance), and Question 7.9 (Prohibited substances are possibly included in certain legal medicines and food supplements) were significantly different between the UK coaches and JPN coaches groups. Conclusions:Judo coaches around the world should be educated on anti-doping regimes.
