The Relationship between the usage of Drugs and Sport Performance


The main challenges for sports psychologist and coaches in this century would be producing strong performance among the nondrug addict athletes. Relatively widespread use of such drugs as namely anabolic steroids to enhance performance dates back at least to the Olympic of the 1960's, although broad public awareness of such drugs use seems relatively recent. The easy availability of drugs, through illegal, contributes to the rise of drug addictions. This research explores some rationales of regulating drug use by athletes in order to determine the level of sport performance. The sample consisted of 97 athletes, drawn from athletes who competed in sports between Universities. Drug Usage Questionnaire and Sport Performance were used to collect the data. The correlation coefficient of 0.712 was noted respectively between the usage of drugs and sports performance. Even though the usage of drugs benefits the sports performance, but it is considered as cheating and unfair, harm, perversion of sports, unnaturalness and dehumanization. The government, sport psychology, counselors, coaches and sports bodies should play an important role to face the challenges to overcomes the evil, drug enhances to protect athletes' health and to achieve fair level playing field.
