The Importance of Chemistry in the Control of Doping in Sports during the Olympics
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Medical Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Chemical applications in the world of sports are diverse and of paramount importance for athletes to perform well. However, some of these athletes decide to use prohibited substances in order to obtain advantages against their opponents. A good case to exemplify what has been said here is that of the Russian athletics federation, which was banned from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics due to the doping scandal. Electronic semiconductor doping, widely used in the field of inorganic chemistry, is very beneficial, quite different from the biochemical doping of athletes who, when introducing foreign substances into their bodies, generate changes that will bring serious complications in the future.
