THE BORDER BETWEEN DOPING AND TREATMENT AT PARALIMPIC GAMES

Marathon, 2015, vol. 7, issue 2, 293-296

Abstract: A lot of tests are done on the athletes who are participating at the Paralympics in order to discover the presence of steroids or blood stimuli. The researchers who are observing the athletes claim that one third of those with spine problems cheat in order to improve their performances. They use a stimulation method which raises the blood pressure and improves the athletic performance. In medical terms this method is defined as being the freely introduction of a dangerous stimulus and it is called autonomic dysreflexia.
