Topics
近几十年来,体育界最大的争议之一是使用兴奋剂(PEDs)。兴奋剂的使用几乎影响了所有类型的运动,从古代奥运会运动员使用迷幻蘑菇、草药补品和酒类饮料来增强力量和耐力,到现代运动员使用合成代谢类固醇、血液兴奋剂和人类生长激素等。 许多著名的案例都围绕着兴奋剂的使用展开,例如本·约翰逊、兰斯·阿姆斯特朗等运动员的禁药事件,以及俄罗斯的国家赞助的兴奋剂使用事件。这些事件不仅损害了运动员的声誉,也对体育运动的公平性和完整性造成了严重的打击。 兴奋剂的作用机制多种多样,例如合成代谢类固醇可以促进肌肉生长和增强力量,血液兴奋剂可以提高血液携氧能力,从而提高耐力。然而,兴奋剂的使用也伴随着严重的健康风险,包括肝脏损伤、心脏病、高血压、不孕不育以及心理问题等。 国际奥委会和其他体育组织一直在努力打击兴奋剂的使用,例如通过制定反兴奋剂规则、进行药物检测等。然而,兴奋剂的研发和使用也在不断发展,这使得反兴奋剂工作面临着巨大的挑战。 兴奋剂的使用是一个复杂的社会问题,它涉及到运动员的个人选择、体育组织的管理、以及社会对体育成就的追求等多个方面。在未来,我们需要继续加强反兴奋剂工作,同时也要关注运动员的健康和体育运动的公平竞争。

It seems as if there hasn’t been a single sport that hasn’t been touched in some way by the use of PEDs. 

But what exactly are PEDs, and how do they give athletes an advantage? Do they really work, and if they do, just how big of an advantage do they give?

Learn more about performance-enhancing drugs and how they have impacted the world of sports on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
