It is apparently very easy for sportsmen and sportswomen to get drugs. The strangest thing about the use of drugs in sports is the fact that there is no real evidence to show that they improve athletic performance. And they can cause liver cancer, and have led to the death of two world- class athletes Now taking urine samples of athletes is practiced worldwide, yet drugtaking remains a serious problem To combat it the Sports Council in Britain has started in-and-out-of-competition drug testing programme Competitors were tested at random before, which means a few people were selected without knowing beforehand This was mostly done during matches. Now, athletes can be tested when they train as well This way the authorities will be able to catch more drug-takers, who will never know beforehand when they have to take a drug test. e many people think of drugs as something only found in chemicals.

It is apparently very easy for sportsmen and sportswomen to get drugs. The strangest thing about the use of drugs in sports is the fact that there is no real evidence to show that they improve athletic performance. And they can cause liver cancer, and have led to the death of two world- class athletes. Now taking urine samples of athletes is practiced worldwide, yet drugtaking remains a serious problem. To combat it the Sports Council in Britain has started in-and-out-of-competition drug testing programme. Competitors were tested at random before, which means a few people were selected without knowing beforehand. This was mostly done during matches. Now, athletes can be tested when they train as well. This way the authorities will be able to catch more drug-takers, who will never know beforehand when they have to take a drug test. Many people think of drugs as something only found in chemicals. But even cough medicine, alcohol and caffeine, which is found in coffee, are considered drugs if a test shows an athlete has taken too much. Of course, an athlete is allowed to drink coffee. For some drugs, a certain amount is permitted. For other drugs, such as steroids (类固醇), any amount in urine samples leads to a ban. (55.9%) 1. What conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?
