George should do whatever he feels is right or comfortable. 6 22.2 2 25.0 3 60.0 Most common reasons not to take Supplement X George should not use supplement X if he wants to be consistent with his moral beliefs that stress honesty and justice. George should first ask the athletic trainer or team physician before using supplement X. If other athletes learn about George and supplement X they will be forced to take it too, even though they do not want to. 12 23.5 5 27.8 1 8.3 19 37.3 5 27.8 9 75.0 18 35.5 7 38.9 3 25.0 Decision #3 – Danny has enrolled into Coach Great’s javelin camp. Coach Great is considered the best coach of the century and Danny’s parents paid big bucks for him to attend. Each day the athletes are to take a prescribed cocktail of supplements. Danny feels pressured to take the drug because anyone who questions Coach Great’s methods has to leave camp. What should Danny do?

ATS F % F % F % If Danny is caught, he will not be punished, Coach Great will take the blame for giving Danny an illegal supplement. Danny is in no position to question Coach Great’s methods and tactics, he should just do what Coach Great says. Taking the supplements is just a natural progression in Danny’s career. Danny is justified in advancing his athletic career. 5 33.3 2 40.0 1 50.0 7 46.7 0 0.0 0 0.0 3 20.0 3 60.0 1 50.0 Most common reasons why participants couldn’t decide 60

I do not care whether Danny dopes or not. 8 29.6 3 75.0 0 0.0 Most common reasons not to take the cocktail Other coaches and athletes would not approve of Coach Great’s giving supplement to his athletes. If taking supplements is not consistent with Danny’s moral beliefs, then he should not take the supplements offered by Coach Great. Coach Great’s secret supplements and performance boosters are the key ingredients of success in Coach Great’s training program. 21 29.2 8 26.7 1 5.0 27 37.5 9 30.0 15 75.0 21 29.2 11 36.7 3 15.0 Decision #4 – Tony, a certified athletic trainer, has built a strong, respectful working relationship with one of his athletes, Andrew. During a random, in-house drug test for marijuana Andrew tests positive. He has never failed a drug test before. The governing body requires that all positive tests be reported to the ethics committee. Andrew pleads with Tony not to report the test since marijuana does not enhance performance or cheat fellow athletes. What should Tony do? Don’t report the test Can’t decide Report the test Freq. % Freq. % Freq. % Team sport athletes 15 13.2 25 21.9 74 64.9 Individual sport athletes 11 28.2 7 17.9 21 53.8 Athletic training students 0 0 2 7.7 24 92.3 Most common reasons not to report the test Team Indiv. ATS F % F % F % Reporting the positive test will ruin Andrew’s career and reputation. Marijuana is not a performance enhancer anyway. Maintaining Tony’s relationship with Andrew is more important than sports rules. 8 53.3 2 18.2 0 0.0 1 6.7 3 27.3 0 0.0 61
