Managerial bases regarding the combating of doping in performance sports
Actuality. Among the many problems of modern sports, the problem of doping is becoming more and more important. It is extremely complex as it includes medical, legal, political, moral, organizational, social and pedagogical aspects that are appropriately interconnected. The issue of doping also contains a moral aspect. The use of doping drugs is contrary to the essence of sport, creating unequal conditions in achieving sports results, damaging the prestige of the country and the team, and international sport as a whole. The effectiveness of the fight against doping in sports largely depends on its organizational system. However, it should be noted that the organizational foundations of the fight against doping were practically not in the field of view of scientists. The main efforts of sports and medical science were aimed at studying the impact of doping on the athlete's body, finding methods for its detection, biochemical components, as well as reducing the costs of doping control procedures and finding the simplest and most effective procedures for it. In this sense, the study of the organizational foundations of the fight against doping is theoretically and practically relevant. The purpose of the study. To analyze the management of the fight against doping in sports, to determine the effectiveness of the organization of this fight in modern sports. The research methodology of this work includes both general scientific methods: historical, system-structural, logical and dialectical, as well as special methods of scientific knowledge: formal legal, comparative legal, legal dogmatic and others. The use of these methods contributed to the study of the identified problems. The results of the study to determine a reasonable assessment of the existing anti-doping system in sports, to identify the shortcomings and positive aspects of this system, its impact on the education of athletes, allowing us to establish ways to improve its pedagogical and social effectiveness, the materials, study can contribute to the formation of an understanding of the role of the fight against doping in sports, the main development trends and ways to increase its effectiveness among athletes, coaches, sports doctors, managers and specialists in the field of sports. - the concept of "doping" should be considered much broader than it is currently accepted and encompass in a complex way medical, legal, organizational, psychological, moral, social and pedagogical aspects; - doping means drugs, other means and methods of influence that artificially increase those functions of the body on which the improvement of a sporting result depends; doping is associated with the possibility of causing moral damage to the sport and the athlete, damage to health, moral and genetic damage to society; legally, doping is determined by the list of drug groups prohibited by the IOC Medical Commission; - the use of doping in modern sports began with its appearance; the legal foundations for the fight against doping in sports were laid in the 60s of the 20th century; - the fight against doping is part of sports and humanistic education; - the process of combating doping is negatively affected by a number of social factors, in particular, the commercialization of sports; - the international and domestic systems for organizing the fight against doping have significant deficiencies (the high cost of analysis procedures, the possibility of manipulating the results of doping control, defective laboratory equipment, imperfect methods of determining doping, classification of groups of doping drugs, lack of quantitative analysis and other); - the most effective means of "anti-doping education" are: imposing sanctions (temporary and lifetime disqualification, fines); lectures, conversations and periodical publications on the disqualification of athletes and various aspects of the doping problem.

The use of doping in sports, as well as the fight against it, has their own history. In modern sports, the fight against doping began almost simultaneously with its appearance. With the organizational strengthening of the international sports movement, with the receipt of more and more new data about the harmful effects of doping on the athlete's body, public opinion (especially in the sports field) became more and more convinced of the need to combat it. 2. Legislative restriction of doping in sports began to take shape at the end of the last century due to the need to ensure a fair fight in sports. The basis of the legal anti-doping regulation is the International Anti-Doping Convention (2005) and the World Anti-Doping Code, which includes international standards as annexes (including the Prohibited List). 3. The current anti-doping system in international sports is not effective enough, it does not allow the complete eradication of the use of doping in elite sports, due to the presence of social and personal factors that stimulate the use of doping by athletes (commercialization of sports, insufficient funding of the system of doping control, sports leaders' disinterest in the effective fight against doping, athletes' desire for glory and others). 4. The form of organization of the fight against doping that exists in international sport is mainly focused on the use of sanctions. The international sanctions system provides for disqualification (temporary and for life); at the national level , in addition to disqualification, in some countries the deprivation of sports titles is resorted to, fines are resorted to; in several countries (England, USA), they can also be coaches, athletes, doctors, sports organizers, prosecuted for the use of doping by athletes. 5. Consolidation of the publicity of anti-doping control results with a wider involvement of public organizations, publication of a bulletin on the analysis of bioassays at all official international competitions.
