“…Finally, future research should identify antecedents and consequences of doping moral disengagement in the specific context of sport. Doping intentions and behavior could be investigated as two important consequences of doping moral disengagement (see Engelberg et al, 2014;Ntoumanis et al, 2014), while a potential factor that could influence moral disengagement may be moral skills training (see Melzer, Elbe, & Brand, 2010).…”

Statement of Problem The use of banned substances to enhance performance occurs in sport. Therefore, developing valid and reliable instruments that can predict likelihood to use banned substances is important. Method We conducted three studies. In Study 1, football players (N = 506) and athletes from a variety of team sports (N = 398) completed the Moral Disengagement in Doping Scale (MDDS). In Study 2, team sport athletes (N = 232) completed the MDDS and questionnaires measuring moral disengagement in sport, doping attitudes, moral identity, antisocial sport behavior, situational doping temptation, and task and ego goal orientations. A week later, a subsample (n = 102) completed the MDDS and indicated their likelihood to use a banned substance in a hypothetical situation. In Study 3, athletes (N = 201) from a variety of individual sports completed the MDDS and indicated their likelihood to use a banned substance in a hypothetical situation. Results The results of Study 1 showed that one-factor model fitted the data well, and the scale showed measurement invariance across males and females. In Study 2, we provided evidence for convergent, concurrent, discriminant, and predictive validity, as well as test-rest reliability, of the scale. In Study 3, doping moral disengagement was positively related with reported likelihood and temptation to use a banned substance. The scale exhibited very good internal consistency across the three studies. Conclusions In conclusion, the MDDS can be used to measure moral disengagement in doping in team and individual sports.

“…Therefore, in order to win and reach success in sports within the limits of sportive virtue and legal framework and in order to sustain the philosophy of raising healthy generations by means of sports, it is of vital importance to organize seminars for all shareholders about values at sports together with anti-doping trainings. Melzer et al, (2010) reported that it was important to provide trainings for the sportsmen concerning decision-making about use of doping, to emphasize that the pressure applied by the coaches and athlete friends are of importance, and they stated that all of the shareholders should attend these trainings in order to change the environmental factors. Bloodworth and McNamee (2010) determined that, though with some exceptions, the sportsmen generally embrace the values promoted in the anti-doping training programs.…”
