Background Information

1）The Olympic Games

The origin of the Olympic Games is linked to many Greek myths. The institution of the Olympic Games began in 776 B.C. and lasted for 12 continuous centuries before it was abolished in 393 A.D. The first contemporary Olympic Games took place in 1896 in Athens. The modern Olympic Games are the world’s largest pageant of athletic skill and competitive spirit. But at the same time, they have also been displays of nationalism, commerce and politics, which inevitably result in drug misuse for better performance in competitions.

2) Drug Misuse and Anti-Doping Tests

To promote their strength and endurance, athletes have long resorted to the use of prohibited substances such as stimulants. The last half of the 19th century saw the beginnings of modern medicine and a significant growth in the use of drugs to improve athletic performance. In 1967 the International Olympic Committee began to take actions against

doping. The Olympics over the past three decades have witnessed a lasting war between development of performance-enhancing drugs and study of prohibited substances as well as effective anti-doping tests.

3) Health Risks of Doping

Apart from undermining the fairness of competition, the use of drugs can actually rebound on the athlete and cause irreversible damage to the health of athletes. So the fight against the practice of doping in sports not only preserves the well being of Olympic sport and the integrity of competition, but also ensures the health of athletes.

Prohibited drugs temporarily boost athletic performance, but in the long run, they can lead to liver damage, strokes, heart attacks and so on. Besides, the athletes who took illegal drugs reported birth defects in the children, and other ongoing troubles such as excessive body hair and deep voices.

4) Topic-related Words and Phrases

stimulants:

any substance that causes an increase in activity in various parts of the nervous system or directly increases muscle activity. Drugs such as caffeine and the amphetamines belong in this category. Athletes use stimulants to boost their muscle power, heighten their oxygen carrying capacity, and transform their endurance.

amphetamines:

any one of a group of drugs that are powerful central nervous system stimulants. They can temporarily reverse the effects of fatigue, enhance mental alertness and the ability to concentrate.

calmers:

or depressants, any one of various substances that depress the nervous system. Athletes take some of them to enable them to train and compete despite pain and injury. Others stop an athlete from trembling, reduce their blood pressure, slow their heart rate and have a calming effect.

doping:

the practice of using prohibited drugs to promote athletic performance.
