“…But, over time, a wide use of drugs has also been observed in women. In fact, the 2015 European Drug Report of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction indicated that approximately one in four users entering treatment are women and one out of every five drug-related-deaths is female (Buccelli et al, 2016;Calatayud, Alcaide, Zurian, & Benavent, 2007;Striegel, Ulrich, & Simon, 2010).…”

In last years, there has been a multitude of studies on doping, such as in recreational and in amateur sport. The extent of this phenomenon was clarified for special populations (like e.g. bodybuilders) and for special substances (mostly for anabolic steroids). Doping is present in sportsmen and women; the reasons why may be many and various. The aim of this study is to discover the gender disparity of drugs addiction as doping practice and breakdown by sport bodies and gender. The data show the anti-doping test took place on Italian professional athletes during the last years: from 2007 to 2017. Data showed are originated from the report commissioned by the Italian Ministry of Health. About checked doped athletes there are significant gender differences in doping attitude and/or in doping profiling. First of all, males seem to be more exposed to doping than females. The prohibited substances most frequently used by females athletes are diuretics and masking agents (10 athletes in 2014), cannabinoids (5 in 2007) and stimulants (5 in 2011) compared to males athletes who use mostly anabolic agents (27 in 2017), cannabinoids (20 in 2012) and diuretics and masking agents (17 in 2011 e 2014). The addiction of doping substances, depends on various factors related to gender, but what drives men and women is the sense of gratification and ego orientation. Nowadays a significant number of women joined official and Olympic competitions. Doping to enhance female sport performances took importance from the two last decades of the past century.

“…Por todo ello, la motivación de los adolescentes influye y desempeña una labor relevante sobre las conductas de consumo (Jiménez, Cervelló, García-Calvo, Santos-Rosa & Iglesias, 2007;Rubak, Sandbaek, Lauritzen & Christensen, 2005), por lo que resulta fundamental atender a ella para en la prevención e intervención del consumo en aras de una mayor adherencia y disfrute de la actividad físico-deportiva (Agulló-Calatayud, 2008;González-Alcaide, Valderrama-Zurián, y Aleixandre-Benavent, 2008;Bartík, 2012;Hodge, Hargreaves, Gerrard & Lonsdale, 2013;Pérez-Milena, Olmedilla, Mesa, Jiménez, Martínez & Pérez-Milena, 2010;Prieto, 2015;Roessler, 2009).…”

Uno de los problemas más graves a los que se enfrenta la sociedad actual resulta el consumo de drogas por parte de la población infantil y juvenil. La práctica deportiva puede actuar como factor de prevención del consumo; se la considera como uno de los hábitos más representativos de un estilo de vida saludable. Por ello, el objetivo del estudio es analizar la relación e influencia de la motivación hacia la práctica deportiva en el consumo de alcohol, tabaco y cannabis de adolescentes deportistas escolares. Los resultados desprenden influencias significativas de motivaciones intrínsecas, extrínsecas y falta de motivación en las diferentes prevalencias de consumo en unos patrones de comportamiento más o menos autodeterminados y adaptativos.

“…Several studies have documented both the increase in the amount consumed and in the variety of new formulations. However, in the last fifteen years, patterns of recreational steroid use have emerged outside the sphere of competitive sport (Agulló et al 2008;Petrocelli et al 2008;Breivík et al 2009;Bojsen-Møller and Christiansen 2010;Rosenberg and Rodríguez 2010;Christiansen and Bojsen-Møller 2012;Agulló-Calatayud 2013).…”

This article explores how the issue of anabolic steroids has been covered by the Spanish press in a period when doping/drug abuse in sport has attracted considerable attention in the media. We analysed news and opinion pieces about this topic in the Spanish written press over a period of five years (2007–2011) on the basis of the agenda-setting theory. A total of 581 items linked to the consumption of steroids were identified, mainly in the sports sections of a statewide newspaper and in the society and crime sections of Valencian and Catalan regional newspapers. In the vast majority of cases, the source and producer of the news is the police or the judicial system and the primary focus is on penal aspects, while a health and social integration perspective is neglected. Press releases from the police reveal the spread of the doping phenomenon, among both professional and amateur athletes, and also among security and emergency bodies.
