All physicians are faced at some time with fundamental challenges while striving to respect the principle canons which define a physician's ethical code. These canons are: 1. Primacy of patient interests, 2. Patient confidentiality, 3, Informed consent, and 4. Maintenance of a high standard of care. Athletes, because of their focus on performance, often present unique situations which lead to ethical challenges not seen in the general patient population. Adherence to the four principle ethical canons guides physicians to make ethical decisions when dealing with these unique patients.
所有医生在努力遵循界定医生道德准则的基本规范时，都会在某些时候面临根本性挑战。这些规范包括：1. 患者利益至上；2. 患者保密；3. 知情同意；4. 维持高标准的医疗护理。运动员由于专注于成绩，常常会出现一些特殊情况，从而引发在普通患者群体中未见的道德挑战。坚持这四项基本道德规范可引导医生在应对这些特殊患者时做出符合道德的决策。
