Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

1
How can the win-at-all-costs attitude lead a performer to dope?
Model answer
Some performers value victory above fair play and the rules. The Lombardian ethic of winning at any cost encourages cheating.
2
How do financial rewards encourage doping?
Model answer
Victory brings prize money, sponsorship and higher earnings. The rewards of success can outweigh the fear of being caught.
3
How can pressure from others push a performer towards doping?
Model answer
Coaches, sponsors, the media and even nations expect success. A performer may dope to meet these expectations.
4
Why might a performer dope because they believe rivals are doing so?
Model answer
A performer may think doping is the only way to compete on a level playing field. The belief that others cheat can make doping feel justified.
5
How can injury lead a performer to use illegal drugs?
Model answer
A performer may use banned drugs to recover faster from injury or training. A quick return to competition protects the performer's place and income.
6
Why might a performer think they will not be caught?
Model answer
Testing does not detect every substance, and new drugs are developed quickly. A performer may believe the chance of detection is low.
