Awarness of sport related people about antidoping rules in Azerbaijan

Abstract

Possession of medals at the Olympic Games has always been considered the most prestigious demonstration of an athlete and the source of his fame in the country. This led to the fact that athletes themselves or at the insistence of trainers deliberately took doping substances that stimulate physical performance and mental activity in order to increase their results without taking into account the athlete's health risks and the IOC rules prohibiting the use of such substances. As a result of increasing international efforts to counter the effects of sportsenhancing drugs, at the end of 1999, the IOC established the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to test athletes at the upcoming Olympic Games and raise standards for doping testing. [1] Reforms in the field of literacy of athletes in various sports are undeniable, given the studies under the auspices of WADA, but despite this, lack of awareness and awareness of athletes about doping control is currently one of the central problems of modern sports, since the use of doping by athletes not only causes damage their health, but also undermines the basics of sports. The lack of awareness of not only athletes, but also support and other sports personnel makes it difficult to fight in the world. On this occasion, studies are being conducted in different countries of the world that are aimed at studying the awareness of athletes and support staff about anti-doping rules. In recent years, our country has achieved very great success in the sports field in the international arena. At the same time, Azerbaijan is one of the countries fighting for fair sport. Through the efforts of the AMADA agency, anti-doping rules have been adopted and implemented in accordance with the WADA World Anti-Doping Code. as part of the fight for fair sports, the national agency periodically holds educational anti-doping seminars and trainings to improve the literacy of athletes and support staff in the field of anti-doping. The idea of our study was to study the effectiveness of measures taken in the country in this direction by conducting a survey using a specially designed questionnaire.
