Interview to Fernandez-Salvador about Drug Testing

Simon is an excellent horse rider. He is first on both national and provincial rankings. Our theme is about drug testing on both, Summer and Winter Olympics. We have two topics that we are going to talk about. Are the people competing, have to be told bout the drug tests? Well let’s see what our interview tells about.

Good evening, have you thought about this theme? Explain please.

Yes, because we were talking about Maradona, and he wasn’t a good example for us about drug using.

In your case, if you were participating in the Olympics as we all know that, that is your goal, what would you do, if they just ask for doing a drug test for you and your horse?

I´d accept because if you are doped you shouldn’t win and learn about the consequences of using this.

If you actually doped your horse, or even yourself what would you answer them in that case?

If… I would tell them that... em… Well the thing is that they would expulse you.. and… if you say the truth… you.. Would be known as a person that did a mistake.. and that wouldn’t be so good seen. To say the truth I would tell them to mind their own business. But, that is not the case… So I wouldn’t know what to do.

What do you think would be the best resolution, or the best idea to protect the privacy, but have the drug testing work, and find the ones that consume drugs?

If you want to enter in the paddock or to the place where you compete, then you have to do the test, and everyone does.

And do you, finally, think that there should be a random testing? Do you think it’s good or not? Or do you think, that everybody should do it?

Everybody. It might be because the committee think that the runner or the rider, is sympathetic and don’t take the test. And that, is unacceptable.

Interview to Christian Chiriboga about Random Durg Testing

Cristian Chiriboga is a basketball couch of Colegio Menor. He has been interview about Random Drug Testing.

1. As an athlete, do you think random drug testing is much better than anticipated drug testing? Why?
Yes, obviously because usually players use medicines as drugs. Each medicine like vitamins, lemon flu, tempra, and others, are consider drugs for athletes.
2. If no drug testing occurred, do you think it would be fair to compete with someone the consume drugs?
Logically no, because the drugs alterate their bodies. They have more energy than others, especially at resistance.
3. Have you ever played basketball with someone that inherited any type of drug? How do you notice?
On time I had experienced it. You can clearly see it because of his personality.
4. You as an athlete have ever been tempted or told to use performance drugs?
A couple of time, people had told me to take medicine (drugs), like vitamins, so that I run faster, but I know that in the try outs it will show up positive that I consume drugs.
5. Which are the most common performance drugs used by athletes? Why do you think so?
The most common ones are medicine, especially vitamin C, but also Red Bull, which accelerates the body of the person that used it. I think this because sometimes they think medicines won’t be considered drugs, but it comes positive in the try outs.

Editorial about Random Drug Testing

In these times we are used to hear about the drug effects on a human´s organism. Long time ago it was natural to consume drugs but because of the lack of technology; indeed communication. There was and there is a large amount of young people that think it´s normal addiction. It´s not something that happens only to adolescents, but also older people, even athletes. Usually, someone things athletes are the wealthiest people in the world, but it suddenly appears to be that pressure from races, from couches, can cause psychological problems. They always have in mind they have to win because their future depends on the place they get to, so this can drive them to consume drugs. But also because of wanting to beat someone, athletes can use different substances that in some Cases can be considered drugs, because they are not coming naturally from the human body. So to prevent these situations, cooperatives has decided to reinforced systems and applied them to the society, just like the rule known as the Random Drug Testing.

Before Olympic Games there are always cases of someone found with during their blood and urine. It´s tough to play sports every day of their life for hours and pressure surrounding their minds per day. To win a race and athlete would like to consume a little rug to be stronger than other participants. And for that reason, random drug testing is created because it´s not fair to have an athlete more powerful than another one caused by an artificial element that can be very dangerous for the organism. Random drug testing doesn´t mean to get in the private life of an athlete, it´s made for fairness and health. If athletes want to be role models they shouldn´t consume drug, because others that admire them will do the same thing. It´s like a cycle, so that´s why this testing´s are created; to stop before something terrible can occur.

Random drug testing is used by many institutions around the world, because they recognize it is healthy for the population. For athletes, random drug testing should occur so that no one is in danger. Part of life is to be fair, and sports made people come together, so unfairness shouldn´t be produced on these groups of people. This try outs will decrease the use of drugs for athletes, which is excellent because these substances can kill someone. If people think random drug testing is going against the privacy of the athlete or making him feel guilty, this can earn lots of uncomfortable situations around the world; like controversial and death.

Sumaries about Random Drug Testing

Some dietary supplements that do not cause muscle building can be ingested by athletes. Dietary supplements that make athletes work and perform better like energy bars, vitamins, and carbohydtrates. This dietary supplements are not available to all athletes because of the economic issues. But if athletes can purchase these items they are recommended to use them.The drug testing procedure is simple. The athletes is asked to make a urine sample of around one hundered milliliters into a bottle. One hundered milliliters in each bottle. This bottles are then taken to a lab were they are investigated. The athletes can or cant feel in a form. In it he may write if he has used any drugs in the past seven days. If the test is “positive” the athletes is sanctioned and he then can make a nw sample of urine and observe the samples with his eyes.

The random drug testing is another way to prevent the use of drugs. This system is used by corporations, fire departments, government agencies, drug rehab centers, schools, and much more which had decide this system is effective. Nevertheless, people criticize the random drug testing because it makes the person being tested, feel guilty and also because it disrespects the privacy of that person. Some people can be against this try outs, but the testing will help the decrease of the use of drugs, which is excellent, because those substances can drive someone until death. A study named SATURN (Student Athlete Testing Using Random Notification) mentioned all the effects drug cause to an athlete’s organism, and most of them were negative.
Finally, the main thing people should have in mind is to maintain young athletes or older ones away from drugs. In a way this substances can help an athlete be stronger, faster or resistant form others, but what usually happens when they exaggerate with drugs, they would end up by dying.

Summaries about Drug Testing

In the Olympics, many athletes consume drugs. That is very bad because they are cheating themselves and all the others athletes. Some athletes that are doped and have to pass the drug test pay a lot of money to pass without being checked. That is corruption. You have to be very careful before competing because some common vitamins and medicines in a test are label as doping. In very few situations athletes are able to compete after failing the test and just because they have authorized permission to consume medicines but if they catch them with drugs they will not be admitted.


In the winter Olympics there are many interesting facts. Did you actually know that more than 30 participants in this important events failed the drug exam? No? Well this is the case. There were several Russian women that were banned in the Winter Olympics. The Olymipic committee thinking it's so important that they conducted in this type of Olympics 2100 drug tests and of them 554 where doping tests, 407 where on urine samples and 147 where blood samples.

To see if a person has used any type of drug tests by looking at their chemical makeup, and conclude if that person has used or consumes drugs.

Bowers, the ones that take those tests in the name of the Olympic committee, don't want to tell to anyone about to whom they will take this drug test, because after them, the drug testing wouldn't occur so efficiently.

The USADA is the first known organization that looks for drug testing before the Olympics.
