Abstract

Introduction: In 2008–2009, ASADA conducted 4212 government-funded drug tests across 57 sports and 3286 user-pays tests for Australian sporting bodies or other organizations. A recent survey of Australian athletes endorsed both drug testing as a deterrent against performance enhancing drug use and the severity of current punishments for doping in sport. However, despite extensive anti-doping programs, little is known of athletes’ knowledge and attitudes towards drug testing procedure and how or where athletes seek information about prohibited substances.
