Forced doping

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Forced doping is a form of doping and can refer to the fact that athletes or other professional groups are forced through threats or social pressure (e.g. loss of privileges, are no longer allowed to perform activities) to knowingly accept doping or if the misuse of medication without their knowledge or with indication of alleged harmlessness is carried out (it is not their own decision and consciously aware of the consequences to carry out doping).

In the GDR, doping was anchored in the state plan topic 14.25 until 1989 . From today's perspective, this is called compulsory doping because it meets these criteria. Since this was organized by the state, the term state doping is also used for it.

“Forced doping” has occurred and still occurs in other countries, especially when doping is organized by the state.

The word meaning of “coercion” is not to be understood pathologically in this context, but rather as “external influence on someone under threat of violence” or “strong influence from which someone cannot escape” (e.g. without losing certain Privileges).
