This year is a year of Olympics. When the Olympic Games are held, people are not only concerned about the performances of athlets, but also the doping control. Recently, a campaign on doping control was waged in the city.

　　A dope is a psychoactive substance. In sports, doping refers to the use of Performance-enhancing drugs, particularly those forbidden by organizations that regulate competitions. Doping is mostly done to improve athletic performance. This is why many sports ban the use of performance enhancing drugs. In the history of Olympics, there have appeared many doping scandles, involving both international and domestic athletes. Doping is not only harmful to the health of athletes, but stains the Olympic spirit.

　　With the Beijing Olympics drawing near, Chinese governments are intensifying the doping control and the drug control departments have also started a special control campaign on that. Since Feb, they have checked the drug producers in the city, requiring the producers to add Use with Caution for Athletes to some drugs. Meanwhile, they exert a tight control on drug exporting businesses and wholesalers. If they can not meet the requirements, their liences could be suspended.

　　Hua Huiping, Chief inspector, Ningbo Medicine Co. Ltd: Since March, we require all drugs coming in have the use-with-caution warning for sports people. Without the warning in the instructions, we won’t purchase it or sell it.

　　The checkup finds that most drug businesses can meet the requirments. For the next step, the inspectors will check drug stores and hospitals to keep a tight control on the dopes.
