Cleaning staff in Olympic GamesSportsmen that take anabolic steroids or other performance-enhancing medicines will be easier caught in future. Anti-doping organizations try to find new methods to catch and to avoid participation of athletes who administrate steroids and other similar medicines in Olympics. It is considered that only blood and urine tests are not enough to prevent steroids use by sportsmen. UK Anti-doping intends to include a special staff in its activity. The staff must be well trained and organized. This staff will keep an eye upon sportsmen that are suspected in taking of drugs and supplements for athletic purpose. The chief officer of the UK Anti-doping wants to create a situation in which steroids users will not be able to escape from the thoughts that the staff spies on them in any place.
The staff related to UK Anti-doping will be especially educated in order to be always awake, to observe unusual behavior of those athletes that apply perform-enhancing drugs, to catch them and to inform Olympic officials.
The experience shows that the well trained staff which is also called “the cleaning staff" is an effective way to find out and to exclude steroids consumers from Olympics. The staff observed accidentally that certain athletes took forbidden medicines and supplements. Of course, Olympic officials were informed about these essential findings; as a result, these athletes were not admitted to take part in the competitions. They belonged to the Austrian ski team.
It is known that the World Anti-Doping Agency has cooperated with many national anti-doping organizations in order to unite the efforts for better results. All possible sources related to administration of these specific preparations are included in this activity. There is a great hope that sport will be cleaned from cheating and unfair. Moreover, the integrity of Olympic Games should be also protected. |
