DOPINGDoping is the antagonistic of fair play.

Doping means take drugs and forbidden substances and there are tree principal type of doping products that the swimmer use:

-AMPHETAMINES

 

-ANABOLIC STEROIDS

 -GROWTH HORMONE

 

. A lot of people think that swimming is a “clean” sport or rather a sport where the athletes don’t use doping substances . Unfortunately this isn’t true and we can easily prove it opening newspapers where there are frequently news about doping in swimming competitions For example in:

-ROME

-RIO DE JANERIO

NO DOPING,YES FAIR PLAY !!
