Debate kit - drugs in sport
Doping in sport usually means the use of performance-enhancing drugs, but is can also mean techniques like ‘blood-doping’. This debating kit explores the ethical issues around the use of drugs in sport such as possible harm to the athlete and unfairness. Role play gives students a chance to explore the different sides of the issue and compare others’ points of view, as well as considering social, ethical and factual issues in an integrated way. Included in the kit are eight debate cards outlining the opinions of a number of different fictional characters. These cards encourage students to explore the differences between types of drugs and discuss their effect compared with non-drug techniques of improving performance.
