Abstract

Introduction

The list of banned substances released and revised by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) every year has several classes of drugs, among which many can be considered psychoactive. This study qualitatively analyzes the use of these substances and their effects on the performance enhancement, in multiple ways, of high-performance athletes.

Methods

Analysis and review of annual statistical data published by WADA (World Antidoping Agency) and case studies with data provided by cooperating international federations.

Results

Many psychoactive drugs have been found in different profiles and sports, used by high performance athletes, associated or not with other classes of drugs for performance enhancement.

Conclusions

It was possible to find a correlation between the use of psychoactive drugs and high-performance sports for many reasons, but it is very difficult to trace and limit the profile of the athlete who uses these substances, making prevention and tracking a challenge

精神活性药物及其在高水平运动员中的使用

世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）每年发布和修订的禁用物质清单有几类药物，其中许多可以被认为是精神活性药物。本研究定性分析了这些物质的使用及其对高性能运动员在多种方面的性能提高的影响。方法对世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）公布的年度统计数据进行分析和回顾，并结合与之合作的国际单项体育联合会提供的数据进行案例研究。结果许多精神活性药物在不同的人群和运动中被发现，被高水平运动员使用，与其他类别的药物联合或不联合使用以提高成绩。结论精神活性药物的使用与高水平运动之间的相关性有多种原因，但很难追踪和限制使用这些药物的运动员的个人资料，这给预防和追踪带来了挑战
