Question 1

All of the following are doping categories banned by the IOC except:&#10;A) diuretics&#10;B) creatine&#10;C) anabolic androgenic steroids&#10;D) stimulants&#10;E) beta blockers

Accepted Answer

Creatine is not banned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) because it is a naturally occurring compound that can be found in foods like meat and fish, and it is also produced by the human body. It is widely used as a dietary supplement to improve exercise performance and increase muscle mass, but it does not fall under the IOC's list of prohibited substances.

Question 2

Hallucinogens are included in which banned drug group?&#10;A) stimulants&#10;B) narcotic analgesics&#10;C) anabolic androgenic steroids&#10;D) beta-adrenergic blockers

Accepted Answer

Stimulants are a class of drugs that elevate mood, increase feelings of well-being, and increase energy and alertness. Hallucinogens, however, are not classified as stimulants; they are a distinct group known for causing altered perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. The question does not accurately reflect the classification of hallucinogens, which do not fit into any of the provided options correctly. My response was based on an error in interpreting the question's intent. Hallucinogens are not accurately categorized under any of the options given as they primarily affect perception, rather than solely stimulating or depressing the central nervous system, or affecting muscle growth or cardiovascular function.

Which of the following is true about narcotic analgesics?&#10;A) they are legal&#10;B) they slow the heart rate and decrease anxiety&#10;C) they enhance performance by increasing alertness&#10;D) can be addictive in large doses
