HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF DOPING

Most of the Prohibited Substances and Methods are used as medicaments for cure of severe diseases and when acting as doping substances or methods they are used in increased dosage which causes harms to the organism (the damage depends on type of the Prohibited Substance or Method, dose and regularity of use) and in some of the cases even death. Most of the medicaments have side effects which could lead the sport career to the end before it has even fully started.

SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF DOPING

These consequences can lead to many various situations - loss of any possible sponsorship, ruining of future career, disrupted relationships with family and friends (e.g. clean teammates would not like to compete with anyone associated with doping) or loss of psychological or emotional peace of mind together with loss of respect and credibility from other people.
