INTRODUCTION Amateur sport and professional sport. Two sides of the same coin. Two realities that try to merge but inevitably fail. Professional sports put an emphasis on winning, no matter how. The list of athletes who are sanctioned for consuming various substances is large. And it will surely continue to grow in number. In such a situation, two basic questions can be asked: 1- two- Why does an athlete decide to adopt such an attitude? Is it inevitable that this will happen? Beyond the ethical and moral questions, the reality is that there are many pressures and interests that lead an athlete to use drugs to improve their performance. And it also becomes difficult to avoid this simply with disciplinary measures. Reality shows us that since anti-doping tests were implemented to date, the list of prohibited drugs and methods has grown overwhelmingly. And it doesn't look like this is going to stop. For this reason, and respecting the right of each individual to be informed and make decisions, despite the fact that they compromise their health, I firmly believe in education as a prevention tool. Because ultimately tive can only be avoided whatis desired avoid. It is not my intention to advocate substance use. I am simply moved by the fact of being honest with anyone interested in learning about an aspect of professional and not so professional sports that is avoided by the vast majority of health and sports professionals, who hypocritically criticize who incurs certain practices, but they do not commit themselves in the least to find a solution, if there is one, to a problem that advances day by day. To anyone interested in the search for the truth, I hope to be useful.
