| Summary: | The article analyzes and evaluates the legal and organizational regulations adopted on the basis of worldwide standards set by the institutions specialized in counteracting the phenomenon of doping in sport. The biggest attention was placed on the Polish Anti-Doping Agency (POLADA), established in 2017 under the Law against doping in sports whose complex rules of operation are defined in several separate legal acts. The reflections were supported by examples of the most infamous doping scandals of recent times, both in Poland and international.
The author finds that the current legal regulations, as well as their practical application, allow effective counteraction of individuals and entities using or spreading substances and methods prohibited by the law. Legal regulations and as a consequence the activities of institutions such as the Polish Anti-Doping Agency must be a subject to the continuous evaluation in order to be able to respond to the latest attempts to use banned doping in sport, because it has a direct impact on ensuring broadly understood safety and security in sports.
In addition, the author indicates that one of the best methods of combating doping is to highlight its possible negative effects. Therefore, further educational programs should be initiated and propagated in the society, followed by spreading information matter of doping, because the phenomenon of using prohibited substances and methods by professional athletes is in contrary to the fundamental principle that should lead sports competition fair play. Additional severe consequences that might be revealed in the future, may also be serious health problems for people using doping during their careers. |
