Doping

like Armstrong, have used it to help improve their performance. The earliest claims of doping was with Gastone Nencini in the 1960 Tour De France. Around this time athletes would store blood and wait for the body to replace the loss blood. Afterwards they would take the stored blood and inject it into themselves. This would give the athlete extra blood, therefore more oxygen blood cells. EPO made blood doping a lot easier for athletes such as Armstrong. EPO is not a drug in a legal sense.…

Performance Enhancing Drugs in Cycling Introduction From the very beginning when humans have engaged in competitive sports, they have tried to gain every possible edge against their opponents. An advantage that can be achieved through honest means such as hard work, determination and perseverance towards the sport. Contrarily, it could also be achieved through dishonest means such as through the use of illegal chemical agents known as Performance Enhancing Drugs or PEDs. The use of Performance…

and services to members. The public was informed in February 2013 that the Cronulla Sharks may be involved in a drugs scandal (ABC News 2013).What followed was a period of intense and rigorous independent investigation by Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and the NRL. Poor governance leads to the management failure and causes Cronulla Sharks involved in the drugs scandal. Governance is a set of relationships between a company’s management, its board, its shareholders and other…

Michael Sandel in “The case Against Perfection” talks about benefits and drawbacks in genetic engineering, designer children, and bionic athletes. The benefit is that improving technological advancement, we will be able to treat and prevent many diseases that are prevalent today. The downside is that exponential growth of technologies will allow us to manipulate our own nature, to enhance our cognitive abilities, physical strength, and choose genetic traits of our children to make ourselves…

Throughout my journey in Eng. 621 we have studied many different plays, short stories, essays, and novels. There were a lot of lessons in each piece that we looked over but the one that stuck out to me was the topic of “fear”. In the play of “Macbeth” written by no other than Shakespeare, the fear of getting caught really motivated Macbeth to continue down the wrong path and inevitably led him to his foreseeable death. In the documentary “The Armstrong Lie” Lance was so afraid to lose the Tour…

discover a performance enhancing drug that was lacking in serious side effects. This did not stop them from reaching common knowledge across the sporting community, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) established a medical commission to fight doping in 1967 – the Winter Olympics the following year became the first to institute compulsory drug testing. Anabolic steroids joined the list of banned substances in 1975 It is around the time of the blanket ban on anabolic steroids in…

Nitrogen doping into the lattice TiO2, whether substitutional or interstitial doping can form the localized mid-gap states lying just above the valence band of TiO2, which could narrow the band gap of TiO2 and shift the absorption to the visible region as shown in the figure 1 (the red line). However…
