Perspectives on doping prevention
To determine the most effective means to deter doping in sport, why not ask the athletes? In new research from the University of Münster, elite German cyclists and field athletes suggested: 1) improving detection and diagnostics, and 2) increasing bans for offenders and strengthening anti-doping laws. Increased fines and leniency programs for offenders who cooperate in the identification of other offending athletes were ranked as far less effective.
