The Sad Story of Doping in Swimming

Ойын-сауық

What drives some swimmers to the point that they’re willing to cheat to win? And why have some countries resorted to secretly giving their athletes drugs and conspiring to falsify test results just to win a few more medals?
Even the best, most famous swimmers in the world have been suspended for taking banned substances. Let’s take a look at some famous doping scandals in swimming, and what can be done to stop more cheating from happening.

    There needs to be lifetime bans or severe enough times as the risk - rewards are too low. Dope, train hard, take the suspension if you're caught but carry on training, then compete with many more training hours ahead of the competition. Happens in weightlifting and happens in all sports if we're being realistic

    Lifetime bans won't work. A survey of world class athletes was taken over 10 years ago. The question put to them was this 'if you could take a drug that would guarantee you to be the best in your respective sport but would also guarantee that yous be dead inside 5 years; would you take it?'. I think over 58% answered yes. The experiment was called 'Goldmans dilemma'.

    I agree, but you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. If there are 10 swimmers and they know that 8 (arbitrary) of them are doping, they don't really feel bad for doping themselves because they are just "following the rest" so to speak. Sounds dumb, I know, but when you spend every waking hour training towards a single goal, you can easily convince yourself to do it/comply with your coaches.

    It’s about perspective. Firstly, some people don’t care, which has a lot to do with upbringing. Secondly, some people do it because they think they don’t have a choice (correct or not). If you thought every one of your competitors was doping and you wouldn’t have a chance to win a medal without it, then you winning a medal with doping would feel fair.

    Projection much…. I completely disagree, Phelps has been an advocate for life time bans for cheaters and he was subjected to hundreds if not thousands of random screenings throughout his career. Phelps never had anything show up in regards to performance enhancing drugs! Furthermore, the US has USADA an extremely strict testing and oversight from a 3rd party organization. While other countries (China, Russia) have been caught repeatedly and purposely doping their athletes and shown to have intricate doping protocols for their “state” controlled Olympic training programs. Something that just doesn’t exist in the United States. In other words China and Russia love to use the Olympics for soft power and doping their athletes is something dictatorial governments are very comfortable doing. Don’t be fooled, they will eventually be caught just like east Germany.

    It's very easy to change the molecular structure of a drug enough to where no drug test can catch it. There are labs you can contact that will make the drug with your structural changes. Then you test it on a group of mice and compare the results with a control group of mice that were on the original compound as well as another control group that were natural. This way you can compare the blood test results and see if it interferes with any other mechanism in the body other than anabolism of your muscles and the androgen effects on your body. By measuring the muscle mass percentage of each mouse, you will be able to get a good idea of the anabolic score index as well and can decide if the compound is worth taking. I don't think there are many natural athletes among the top players in any sport. It's far too easy to cheat in an undetected way for that to be probable. But since almost everyone is cheating, the playing field is still "fair", right? -No It's not fair, because there are thousands of amazingly talented and genetically gifted people that get discouraged from continuing their careers in these sport every year because they can't naturally get as good as the top players and so they train and train, but doesn't get even close to the top players performance and in the end they just give up and their amazing genetics and talent is wasted. For the playing field to be fair, PED's need to be either legalized and allowed in all sports or the testing needs to be MUCH improved to notice other markers than just the compounds people take so we can catch any use of PEDs no matter what molecular structure.

Within about two years, though, half the Chinese swim team all failed their drug tests at a single competition..

Just the opposite, in fact. The reason you have the arbitrary opinion you do, is precisely because the US doesn't tolerate it, and catches and punishes people who do it. And if we're going to include people who were never caught., like Armstrong, well... the entire Tour was widely reputed to be doping both before and after Armstrong. It was tbe only way to make it to the top of that sport. Armstrong certainly didn't learn how to do what he was dong in the US, either. Nor did he get the materials to do it in the US.

    Try again. Sun Yang tested positive for trimetazidine in 2014, which was and still is classified as a PED. He was suspended because he used it without obtaining a TUE beforehand. His 2018 incident was his second offence, and obstructing the testing procedure isn't a good look, especially when he's tested positive before.

    The case of Sun Yang annoys me so much. The way he acted toward duncan scott, 'you loser, I win' when everyone knew he was cheating rubbed me the wrong way. Caught cheating multiple times, years apart. Should never be allowed back. Whatsmore, it isn't proven, but his 1500m free WR was likely done whilst doping, especially if you watch his unnatural pace on the last 100-200.

    @@noahpalmer6653That’s not factually correct. They smashed the lock of the case which held the sample. His samples days before and days after that day all returned negative. Another interesting question is - why did he come back when his mum called saying testers arrived at his house? You are legally allowed to miss 3 tests, so if he was intentionally doping, why come home?

    Perhaps we should develop mathematical formulas that correct for enhanced performance as a result of doping; if an individual "wins" the race, but the winner's time is "renormalized" to account for potential doping, perhaps that individual would not continue to be considered to be the winner. Certainly, someone must have studied the differential between those who doped and those who didn't.

    Don't think that's simply possible. People dope at different rates (e.g. some take testosterone in higher quantities), people's bodies react to steroids to different effect, etc. Even if you could get a reasonable estimate, I'm not sure if it's fair to the swimmer or the sport. The times should just be disqualified.

    That could work as a way to investigate but you'd need their "pre-doping" information and doping doesn't always mean better results. Some people say it's a 10% increase in performance. You can dope and still come in last.

    Really, the ONLY effective preventative is lifetime ban on First violation. hGH is not easily discovered unless vials are found in possession. Perhaps a lifetime coach or doctor -related ban. If one of those were found to have facilitated cheating, ANY athletes ever associated with them banned for life. This would necessarily include the ahtlete being banned from coaching or ANY other contact with other athletes- who themsleves should be banned if violating contact ban with such individuals. If audiences/"fans" disagree, theycan always take refuge in alcohol and other doping to assuage their "grief."

    I agree with you. Unfortunately, some newer experimental drugs are much harder to detect and can be taken via microdosing. Additionally, as mentioned in the video, masking agents are a huge part of the doping world. In my opinion, newer designer drugs and other recovery methods will always outperform and overpower drug testing and so preventative methods such as drug testing will always be at a disadvantage. Who knows, maybe in the future they will be able to give athletes certain drugs that will block certain cell receptors so that their usual drugs will not work but that is just an ambitious dream of mine :)
