Запрещенные в спорте субстанции и методы: мотивы использования и виктимологические риски

The authors raise the question of the need to study the motives for the use of doping in the preparation and during the participation of athletes in sports. The problem of victimization of an athlete, due to the special nature of his interaction with the coach, is being investigated. The history of the fight against doping in sports indicates a predominant appeal to the problems of legal regulation and organizational support for relevant preventive measures. The authors study the psychological aspect of this problem, in particular, the underlying motives and environmental conditions that contribute to the fact that the athlete and his coach find it acceptable to use dishonest substances and methods prohibited by criminal law. The authors come to the conclusion about the presence of special psychological characteristics in those athletes who use doping. The authors have developed a model for the formation of an athlete’s motivation to use doping, depending on the level of self-esteem and the nature of the relationship with his coach. When carrying out educational and educational activities, the author’s systematization of means and methods of influencing the personality of an athlete in order to form his motivation for doping can be taken into account. The authors conclude that further comprehensive studies of the motivational sphere of the athlete’s personality are necessary in order to level his victimological risks.
