What is Drug Use and Detection in Amateur Sports?
Drug Use and Detection in Amateur Sports is a soft cover book containing
123 pages of an unbiased guide to dealing with drug use and drug
abuse in athletes and sports. Drug Use and Detection in Amateur
Sports is written by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale who is a world renowned
expert in the application and detection of anabolic steroids, growth
hormone and other ergogenic drugs.
Drug Use and Detection in Amateur Sports illustrates
the clarity that testing procedures and application of the rule
of strict liability alone will not win the war against drugs. Although
the advent of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry in the early
1980s transformed the success of drug testing, the main problem
now for anti-doping control tests, is that although analytical tests
are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the athletes who cheat
are at least one step ahead. Inadvertent doping is a particular
concern for amateur associations who perhaps are not as geared towards
education of members in anti-doping. It is essential that athletes
have a means of checking all medicines they are taking or are considering
purchasing. Players need to know what they can and cannot take and
also the medicines that require prior notification such as inhalers
for asthma. There is a need for collaborative education of the athletes,
medical officers, coaches and managers. The IOC banned list contains
three categories: prohibited classes of substances, prohibited methods
and classes of substances subject to certain restrictions.
Drug Use and Detection in Amateur Sports by Dr.
Maruo Di Paquale features: anabolic steroids, growth hormone, gonadotropins,
and diuretics. Drug Use and Detection in Amateur Sports also discusses
muscle metabolism. Drug Use and Detection also revelas drug control,
drug tolerance, stimulants, narcotic analgesics and much more!
Drug Use and Detection in Amateur Sports by Dr. Mauro Di
Pasquale is a must-read for all amateur and professional
players, coaches and administrators.
"In an era where drug use and abuse by athletes is popularized
as scandalous, we find athletes separated from administrators,
from their coaches, from their doctors and even from other athletes.
For the problem of drug use in athletes to be resolved, the facts
about the situation must be widely distributed and this book is
a much needed attempt to offer up the information that does not
exist, in an objective manner, so that the problem can be assessed
rationally. What follows are facts about what testing for drug
use by athletes can and cannot do, facts about what anabolic steroids
and other banned substances can and cannot do. I believe that
from this basis, those who read this book will be able to make
the "right" decisions about how to deal with the problem of drug
use in sports in the years to come." Mike Lambert, editor
Powerlifting USA magazine.
