Th en everything goes back below deck. And 'doping, which for half a century seriou sly affects all sports involving both the world amateur as the professional. 1. Doping: what it is. In fact it is common to think that this scourge affects only the upper floors of the sport. Not so: especially in recent years has been witn essing an alarming abuse of illicit drugs in amateur circles, which sometimes ar e totally left without the slightest control. Even more alarming is the picture if you add that the use of drugs is encouraged by doctors and coaches of youth t eams, regardless of the effects you can achieve success and only looking for eas y and effortless. What is doping? The word "doping" comes from the verb "to dope ," which means "drug". Making use of drugs means illegal use of drugs to enhance mental and physical energy and athletic performance then. Doping is the emblem of the sports culture in vogue among us, who refuses defeat and that, in the gri p of a maddening hedonism, is prepared to use means shameful even to triumph. Le t us now sum up the main performanceenhancing drugs banned by lawanabolic ster oids: they are synthetic derivatives of testosterone. Causing an increase in mus cle mass and strength, ability to sustain intense effort and longterm physical without failure. The most common problems relate to the liver, reproductive and cardiovascular. Following prolonged intake of steroids, the human body can go to suspend the physiological testosterone production and cause menstrual irregular ities in women, low voice, 3 4 breast reduction, hair loss, increased acne and body hair. Amphetamine: are sti mulants of the central nervous system and in particular carry out actions inhibi ting the sensation of fatigue. The effects sought by the athlete who uses have a potential to reduce fatigue, increase concentration and selfesteem. Its abilit y to reduce the physiological stimuli of fatigue is the major risk to the athlet e who continues to force its activities beyond the limits of his body, can cause severe damage, the first of the sudden cardiac arrest. Growth hormone (GH) sti mulates body growth and maintains the stability of the organism. Stimulates prot ein metabolism in athletes and leads to a significant decrease in fat mass, with a simultaneous increase in muscle mass. Causes abnormal skeletal development, l eading to an increase in size of the bones of the limbs and skull, and an increa se in the volume of certain internal organs. Also noteworthy is heart disease an d diabetes. Erythropoietin (EPO): Urges the bone marrow to produce red blood cel ls, thus favoring the increase of reserve oxygen. The EPO is sought for the athl etes who practice sport aerobic base, such as cycling, cross country, the marath on. Increasing the viscosity of blood, you may have to undergo training thrombot ic infarction and stroke. The effects may also occur long after discontinuation. Betablockers: used for sports that require control of tremor of the hands, hea rt rate, anxiety. Reduce pressure and heart rate. Causing sudden and excessive s lowing of the heartbeat, which can result in a reduction in blood pressure, card iac arrest and sudden death. Cocaine, many athletes believe can increase sports performance and reduce response times and neuromotor fatigue. An abuse causes i rritability, insomnia, weight loss, bronchitis, until depression, damage to the central nervous system and nasal septum perforation. The overdose leads to death by respiratory paralysis. Cannabinoids: never shown to use marijuana enhances the ability of muscles, even a possible abuse can 4 5 cause a decrease in muscle strength, but little paranoia and delusions of persec ution. 2.ÂLaw doping or doping state? Fortunately, to counter this growing phen omenon was made a law, dated November 2000, "Discipline of the health protection of sport and the fight against doping." It, in addition to defining the practic e of doping and to provide appropriate penalties, said that the Olympic Committe e and national sports federations have to "... adapt their behavior to the provi sions ..." of the law, "... including in particular the sanctions and disciplina ry procedures their members in case of doping or refusal to accept the checks. " Viewed thus, the scenario seems to be well defined and almost uplifting: Faced with a flood of illegal doping practices, contrasts a solid apparatus headed by institutional bodies, all the cones, which gives battle to a cleaner sport. Agai n, if we rely on what we are told by official sources, risk of precluding the tr uth. In this research work we are building a dossier submitted in 1997 by the Gr eens senator Fiorello Cortiana seventh Senate committee chaired by Senator Ossic ini. The argument raised in the dossier is that the doping state. It is argued t hat the CONI, which has total delegation of the State for Sport, has woven for a long time since the early eighties close collaboration with Professor Francesco Conconi, through which, on the pretext of research, "prepared "the best athlete s with the most advanced performanceenhancing drugs, that they might better par ticipate in the most important sports events, including, of course, the Olympics . The first discipline was concerned athletics, then cascade, cross country skii ng, cycling, canoeing. As evidence of this, be aware that the decision of the Ex ecutive Committee of the CONI number 614, provided for the appropriation of one hundred forty million dollars for the year 1996 to Professor Conconi and his tea m, has been calculated that in four years 19941998 less than four hundred milli on pounds was earmarked to Conconi, for unspecified purchases of "materials 5 6 consumption. It was really huge quantities of erythropoietin, an old acquaintanc e of the professor who already studied the effects and doses in 1979. Here are t he details of how the table is suddenly grown honors Italian medals in the Olymp ics after the "cure Conconi" City Montreal Moscow Atlanta Year 1976 1980 1996 2 8 14 13 Gold Silver Bronze 7 3 6 10 4 4 12 12 Los Angeles 1984 The wall of silence is hard to break, but some dissident voices that testify the validity of this thesis. Daniele Scarpa, Olympic canoeist Antonio Rossi with At lanta, said he was given no apparent need for the liposomes, which hides anaboli c drug and prohibited by the IOC and the World Cup in Mexico in 1994, the Federa tion has purposely avoided that lent itself to ritual doping control. This compl aint was removed from racing by CONI. Silvano Barco and Bruno Maddalin Chiaffoi, crosscountry skiers, said he was the subject of numerous blood transfusions ma de by Professor Conconi even after 1985, when Health Minister Degan prohibits th e practice. Meanwhile, Justice has begun investigating: via pm Pierguido Soprani has opened an investigation which involved among others Professor Conconi, form er presidents of CONI Mario Pescante, Franco Carraro and Arrigo Gattai for consp iracy, fraud Sports and medication adverse effects. All acquitted for prescripti on of crimes imputed to them. According to Soprani sixtythree athletes were sub jected to treatment of EPO Conconi, gives rise to that among these names appear of absolute importance, that have brought success and the victories 6 7 nation described by the media "memorable examples, such as Gianni Bugno, Marco P antani, Maurizio Fondriest, Maurizio Damilano, Maurilio De Zolt, Marco Albarello and Manuela Di Centa. The Olympic pluricelebrata after his retirement, was the star of an amazing climb to the top of the major sports bodies, the first IOC me mber and, until recently, also vice president of CONI, the latter charge because they abandoned the ranks of elected parliamentary Force Italia.1 3. The most be autiful sport in the world in pharmacy! The world of football, although it seems impervious to drugs is heavily affected by it. The first to give importance to the problem of doping in football was in 1998 Zdenek Zeman.2 Following his state ment was taken in a lawsuit against Juventus, which culminated in 2004 with the sentence reached by the Court of Turin of his team doctor Riccardo AgricolaÂacc used of sporting fraud and administration of illicit drugs, including EPO. In De cember 2005 the Court of Appeal acquitted farm because at the time, between '94 and '98, had not yet been introduced antidoping law. Among the few players on t he Italian scene who claims to be admitted to doping drugs are Giovanni Galeone, who played in Monza and Udinese and Carlo Petrini, the striker of the 70s, who played in several companies, including AC Milan, Torino, Roma, Bologna. Petrini is currently suffering from a brain tumor, which is reducing blindness: "All pla yers have taken advantage of us did not know what would happen. Many times while playing, we were willing to do what we ordered [...] The doctors filled me with crap and now they pay the consequences. " The height of hypocrisy it is reached at the Winter Olympics in Turin in 2006, w hen Di Centa, acclaimed by the entire stadium, has rewarded the world live broth er also runner for his victory.
