The document argues that drug testing should be required for all athletes at all levels to create a level playing field and protect athlete health. It notes that steroids, HGH, and amphetamines are commonly used drugs and discusses reasons for their use, including getting bigger, faster, stronger and recovering from injuries. It states that drug use should be tested for in high school, college, and professional sports. High school athletes may use drugs to get scholarships, while college athletes feel pressure to succeed and some professional sports have inconsistent testing. Mandatory random testing across all teams is recommended with severe punishments for positive tests to curb cheating.

Organizational behaviour is the study of how individuals and groups act within organizations. It examines how organizations function and how we can understand, predict, and influence events within them. Key trends impacting organizations include globalization, a more diverse workforce, changing employment relationships like an emphasis on employability over job security, the rise of virtual work, and a focus on workplace values and ethics. Organizational behaviour draws from multiple disciplines and uses systematic research methods and multiple levels of analysis to understand organizations as open systems that interact with their external environment.CSC Assesment Framework

The document discusses 360 degree performance appraisals. It provides an overview of what 360 degree appraisals are, how they work, their advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, it explains that 360 degree appraisals involve employees receiving anonymous feedback from those around them like superiors, peers, subordinates and customers. This feedback provides a holistic view on things like behavior, competencies, leadership effectiveness and how others perceive the employee. While time consuming and potentially shocking, 360 degree appraisals can provide valuable subjective feedback but companies must define their purpose and safeguard the process.Organizational Culture

Doping in sports undermines the valuable lessons that sports can teach and is considered cheating. Doping refers to using performance-enhancing drugs and can have serious negative health effects. While some athletes dope to gain competitive advantages, it often leads to health issues like heart disease, mood disorders, and some cancers. The effects of doping can also differ between male and female athletes. To curb doping, many professional sports leagues have implemented drug testing programs.Drugs In Sport

Drugs are taken to improve sports performance by enhancing the body's ability to transport oxygen, increasing response times, building muscle faster, and reducing pain. Stimulants raise heart rate and blood pressure to increase alertness but can cause health issues when worn off. Narcotic analgesics are painkillers that relieve pain but are addictive and may worsen injuries. Anabolic steroids help build muscle but can lead to health problems when taken artificially. Diuretics are used to lose weight before events but cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.Performance Enhancing Drugs

Performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) have been used by athletes for centuries to improve performance. Early documented uses included swimmers in the 1860s taking drugs to speed up races. The first athlete to be disqualified for PED use was Hans-Gunnar Nilsson in 1968 after testing positive for cocaine and alcohol. Common PEDs used by athletes include anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, and creatine. However, using PEDs can have serious negative health effects and athletes caught using them often face bans and loss of titles and medals. Governing bodies continue developing better detection methods through urine and blood tests to curb PED use in sports.Drugs in sport

Steroid use among high school athletes is a growing problem. Steroids are performance-enhancing drugs that mimic the effects of testosterone and can help build muscle and increase endurance. High school athletes may feel pressure to use steroids to get athletic scholarships or please coaches. However, steroid use can have negative health effects and is often due to peer pressure. When used, steroids can improve athletic performance in the short term but long-term use can cause mood disorders, cognitive issues, and other health problems.Academic Writing APA style

Anabolic steroids are synthetic drugs that are either prescribed by doctors or abused at much higher doses to build muscle mass. While most people believe steroid abuse only impacts professional athletes, studies show it is prevalent among non-professional adult males, including those in occupations like law enforcement and the military. Steroids can be taken orally or through injection, and users may engage in practices like stacking or cycling different steroids. They provide benefits like increased strength and size but also serious health risks such as heart and kidney failure. Treatment options are limited and steroids can be addictive, though testing and penalties are not stringent for student and professional athletes.Presentation

It presents evidence from health organizations that steroids can cause serious issues like heart disease, liver damage, and cancer when misused. While some argue steroids could aid faster recovery, the risks are not worth it if athletes can no longer compete due to illness. Legalizing steroids may also undermine the integrity of sports and send the wrong message to children that doping is acceptable.Ind project

Performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) have been used since ancient times by Greeks and Mayans to enhance athletic abilities. Today, their use is rising due to the financial incentives of professional sports. As detection methods improve, governing bodies are increasing penalties to curb PED use. However, as long as athletes feel economic and competitive pressures, PED usage may continue among professional and college athletes. To fully address the problem, leagues must not only enforce bans but also reduce the perceived need for PEDs through other means.Physiology of performance enhancement

Currently, baseball players receive relatively minor punishments like 10-day suspensions for first offenses. If the commissioner, they would implement a "three strikes" policy to more strongly deter steroid use through increased punishments. Allowing unethical behaviors for organizational benefit is risky and can harm the organization, as shown by Microsoft's past issues.

Drug Testing in Sports
- 1. Why Drug Testing Should be Required for all Athletes at all LevelsBy: Griffin Boyd
- 2. Types of DrugsSteroidsHGH ( human growth hormone)AmphetaminesOther performance enhancers
- 3. Levels that should be TestedHigh SchoolCollegeProfessional
- 4. Reasons Why Athletes UseGet Bigger, Faster, StrongerRecover faster from injuryGet ScholarshipsParents/Coaches encourageAdvantage over opponents
- 5. High SchoolKids are trying to earn college scholarships and in order to do so they will take performance enhancers to improve there athleticism. 2 out of 10 high school athletes have been admitted to using steroids or other performance enhancers. Coaches and parents are starting to support the use of performance enhancers for kids success.It makes for a uneven playing field.
- 6. College85 of 105 positive tests for college athletes were due to the use of steroids.Testing is random and not throughout a whole team.College athletes are being pressured to be successful and make there college career into a pro career so taking performance enhancers is a great way in doing so. Also makes for an uneven playing field.
- 7. ProfessionalThere needs to be a mandatory testing throughout a team instead of random.Punishment needs to be more severe if athlete is tested positive for a performance enhancer. It can be career changing when a player is taking performance enhancer helping there performance and making more money. Its cheating!
- 8. Using = CheatingSociety cares because steroid use is a form of cheating. Since steroids work so well, they create an unfair advantage for those who take them, and this breaks the social contract athletes have implicitly agreed to: We are going to have a fair contest. There are things we can and cannot do. Even if there were a safe performance-enhancing substance, if it weren't available to everybody, using it would still be cheating.
- 9. ConclusionI believe that the best way to have an even playing field and for all athletes is to have testing throughout year. We need this to ensure the health and wellness of all the athletes.
