Doping seriously damages athletes' health as well as the essential virtues of sport, namely honesty, fair play, respect for one's opponent, friendship, etc. In that respect, the creation of a World Anti-Doping Agency by the International Olympic Committee in 1999 has to be welcomed.
Doping er yderst sundhedsskadelig for idrætsudøverne og for sportens grundlæggende dyder, nemlig loyalitet, fairplay, respekt for modstanderen, venskab osv. I denne forbindelse skal oprettelsen i 1999 af Det Internationale Antidopingagentur på foranledning af Den Internationale Olympiske Komité hilses velkommen.
