Abstract

A total of 145 students of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (PASS) from different Spanish universities who took an online anti-doping educational course of the Spanish Anti-Doping Commission (CELAD) answered a questionnaire on their perceptions about doping before, after, and four months later. The results show that the course reduced students' ignorance about the effects of substances on performance and health and increased their moral judgment and feelings against doping. The results are in line with previous research that showed that the moral stance against doping can be improved through educational programs. Online educational interventions can be effective in reducing doping behavior, so their future implementation among ASP can be an effective strategy to reduce doping behavior.
