The investigators of this study in this article are: Bosko Rowland, Falicity Allen and John Toumbourou. The aim of these three authors' study was to highlight the factors and impacts of alcohol in Australian sport. Additionally, the aim of the authors' study was also to explain to the public the Good Sports program, designed to reduce the amount of harmful alcohol consumed in Australian community sports clubs. The method of this study was blinded but was based on different Australian clubs. Therefore, the authors used a method in which they conducted a post-intervention adoption study to determine whether or not the community sports club, a partner in the Good Sports program, was associated with low rates of alcohol consumption. Around 4.5 million Australians are involved in community sports clubs. Which leads to the fact that behavioral ecology maintains that the environment influences alcohol-related behaviors in sports clubs. The authors of this article used the Good Sports Program database and organized information from Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Only two sports were used for this study, the Australian Football League, and the cricket club was invited due to their contribution to the program. Within the AFL, there are a total of forty-seven clubs. Among the cricket club, there are a total of eighteen clubs. Thirty surveys were given to each sport with randomized instructions on how to return the surveys. As the Good Sports program originated in Victoria, most of the polls came from there. The subjects of the study were fifteen-year-old adolescents, among whom they started the sport at a very young age, as well as older men who participate in the sport. There were no specific character... middle of paper ...... atric side effects, including aggressive and even violent behavior. Preventive measures include increased awareness among doctors, appropriate doping analyses, educational interventions and updated legislation. Doping in sport must be combatted with much longer disqualifications of athletes using anabolic steroids, a proposal which has scientific support. Works Cited Sjöqvist, F., Garle, M. and Rane, A.
