Anti-Doping Programs in the Sports Industry Getting More Rigorous Than Ever | GlobalData Plc
While most athletes are likely clean from doping, several major scandals in the last decade have challenged this notion
LONDON, June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most sports now have anti-doping programs to catch out cheats, with athletes regularly being subjected to drug tests. To ensure that athletes are caught out, many drug tests are entirely random, and theoretically, an athlete could have to take one at any given time. Some athletes have complained about the sometimes intrusive nature of the tests, but many see this as a necessary evil to keep sport clean.
The Anti-Doping in Sport - Thematic Research report offered by GlobalData Plc sheds light on the history of doping within sports, and the ongoing challenges that sport faces to eliminate it. It provides a detailed look at the anti-doping value chain which highlights how athletes can make money and what can be lost through testing positive for a banned substance.

Anti-doping Value Chain
Sponsorship opportunities
Salaries
Social media
The more successful an athlete tends to be, the more likely they are to receive opportunities to partner with major brands. Money is a significant motivator for many athletes, as their profession allows them to financially secure themselves for a lifetime. However, testing positive for banned substances will always have negative connotations due to its association with cheating, and companies who have existing sponsorship deals will act quickly to sever those, so that there is no negative press by association. While athletes can often come back after failed drug tests, their reputation is forever tainted, and this will always make it harder for them to secure sponsorship deals in the future.
