The Athlete
Information on drugs, injuries and exercises for the amateur and professional athletes.
From the playground to the boardroom, sport has an affect on most of our lives. Whether we play the occasional game of tennis, take a skiing holiday in winter, casual home exercises for belly fat, watch the kids play football or compete at professional level, most of us have our favourite sport. Right or wrong sporting icons are role models for the general community so whether we realise it or not, sport touches most of lives in one way or another even if it's just zipping off to Monavie to buy the latest in exercise apparel.
Sport builds character whilst teaching us teamwork and instilling the importance of commitment and fair play - qualities that will benefit us in other areas of our lives, too. Instead of looking for a quick fix to to make changes to our selves as we may do with plastic surgery , we can make natural positive modifications to our body image and certainly with plastic surgery prices as they are, it can be a lot more economical.
Every athlete has their bads days, whether it be injurying themselves while doing sports or simply while just going out for a afternoon run. Personal Injury claims are there to pick you back up on your feet making sure that you are well organized and ready. Aside from injury claims every athlete should know better to be well secured by Life insurance, everyone knows how hard it can be when it comes to financial problems with injury and why not have you and your family safely also financially ready.
The achievement of goals through hard work, motivation, and training, mixed with a healthy dose of talent and skill is the mark of a true winner. It's a sad fact that the current 'win at all costs' trend undermines the original and true ethos of sport. A new, seriously dangerous game has developed - a game that can have fatal consequences. That game is 'doping'.
This website is intended to give the public access to as much help as possible on banned substances under IOC rules, and will regularly update Product and Professional lists to give the Athlete as much chance as possible to protecting themselves from taking a banned substance. Any queries will be dealt with either under "FAQ's" or via contact with a local Professional adviser. A list of these is available on the website and will be regularly updated. However there is no substitute to informed advice from Doctors and Pharmacists who have detailed knowledge of the Drugs involved just as their is no substitute for using the best solicitors for accident and injury compensation claims. Guidelines are clear and laid out in another part of this website.
