Q23 of 805 Page 1

Your school’s athletic team along with the athletic teams from different schools reach the venue two days before the inter district school athletic event was to be held. A day before the competition, a team of officials from an agency arrive and ask for blood and urine samples from all the participating athletes.

(a) Would you support or object to this sample collection ? Provide explanation to your answer.


(b) Write a note that you would like to read out to your team-mates to explain the purpose of this visit of these officials.


a) Yes, I would support the collection of blood and urine sample. Generally but not commonly the athletes use steroid shots, illegal energy gainers, before the event, therefore, using this examination will use to identify athletes who are cheating. Determining those substances is very much easy with blood and urine analysis.


b) The purpose of this visit is standardized procedure before the event and it will help to find an athlete who is not playing a fair game physically. Consuming energy gainer or steroid shots or alcohol or drugs are critical and illegal so identifying those athletes leads to a fair game.
