Abstract
In recent decades, society has undergone some far-reaching changes, with the result that doping is increasingly present in modern sport. In sports the ethics discourse belongs to the discipline of sports philosophy. Sport ethics sees its most urgent task in presenting problemfocused solutions for the doping discussion Doping in sports is a huge societal problem. No longer limited to elite athletes, it is increasingly found in amateur and school sports. It is considered a public health issue by the sport movement and public authorities worldwide, and is characterized primarily by the misuse and abuse of medicines. Because doping is becoming more and more of a problem in elite sports, antidoping and prevention programs are receiving more attention. However, current doping prevention programs that primarily involve pedagogical education in youths have not been shown to be very effective. In sports philosophy there is a discourse about ethics and morality in sports in connection with doping. This article discusses a new approach to doping prevention for athletes and a way to improve conventional doping prevention by focusing with respect to drug doping in sport will be given together with an overview of the prohibited substances. The article concludes with representation of possibilities for ethical decision-making in connection with doping.
