Abstract des Autors
The purpose of this study is the representation of doping in high-level endurance walkers, based on a sample survey by questionnaire. The analysis of data shows that for walkers, doping seems only to be considered through its potential benefits. Increasing performance, wish to win and money are the three principal motives to use it, especially anabolic steroids and amphetamines. They think that analgesic injections should not be considered as doping. Thus, they are agreeing with drug testing but not with definition of doping in sport. In their circle, 41% of all subjects have heard of endurance walkers using ergogenic drugs. The need for better drug education is expressed by these results. Verf.-Referat
