This topic is vital for comprehending sports ethics and the physical and mental impacts of doping.

Initial Activity

Provocative Question: What are your thoughts on using substances to boost sports performance? Short Video: Show a 3-5 minute video about a notable doping case (e.g., Lance Armstrong) and prompt students to share their initial thoughts.

Development

Duration: 60 - 65 minutes

This stage is focused on offering students a comprehensive understanding of the practical and ethical dimensions of doping in sports. Through hands-on and reflective exercises, students will develop critical skills, learn to decode complex information, and appreciate the implications of using banned substances on athletes' health and the integrity of sports competitions.

Topics

1. Understanding doping

2. Key prohibited substances

3. Health repercussions of doping for athletes

4. Implications of doping on sports ethics

5. Doping prevention and control measures

6. Notable doping cases in sports

Thoughts on the Subject

Encourage students to think about how using substances to enhance performance affects not only the athlete's career but also public trust in competitions. Ask: 'In what ways do you think doping can influence the integrity of sports and how the audience perceives fairness in competitions?'

Mini Challenge

Anti-Doping Analysis Simulation

Students will role-play an anti-doping analysis process in a fictional lab. They will explore various substances (represented by cards with info) to determine if they are banned, using a list provided of prohibited substances.

1. Divide students into groups of 4 to 5.

2. Hand out cards with information about different substances (name, effects on the body, and prevalence in sports).

3. Provide a list of substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

4. Each group analyzes the cards and identifies which substances are prohibited, justifying their choices.

5. Have each group present their findings to the class, explaining their reasoning and why certain substances are banned.

Foster analytical thinking and information interpretation skills, while promoting understanding of prohibited substances and their implications in sports.

**Duration: 30 - 35 minutes

Evaluation Exercises

1. Identify three banned substances and explain how each impacts the athlete's performance and health.

2. Discuss a notable doping case in sports and the repercussions for the athlete and the sport.

3. Devise a proposal for strategies that could be employed to deter doping in sports.

4. Explore how the use of banned substances influences sports ethics and how it shapes society's view of sports.
