Using drugs in sport undermines values like fair play and teamwork. When sportspeople use drugs, they not only might damage their own health, they also give sport a bad reputation and set a poor example to others.

Alcohol reduces your body's ability to convert food to energy. It also reduces carbohydrates and blood sugar levels. These and lactic acid build-up and dehydration, combine to reduce aerobic performance.



hope this helps:)
