- Title
The ethics of the use of technologically constructed high-altitude environments to enhance performances in sport.
- Authors
Loland, S.; Murray, T. H.
- Abstract
The author addresses the issue of whether athletes' use of artificial high altitude environments should be considered doping. Three criteria of prohibited substances and methods are discussed. The opinion expressed by Benjamin D. Levine is refuted. Technologically constructed hypoxic environments are the focus, specifically with regard to the recovery time after exercise. The distinction between passive and active actions are debated. The author expresses the opinion that external influences, such as the one under consideration, which do not require true athletic action, do not constitute fair play and should be prohibited.
