: The use of sport supplements may represent a risk factor for the use of doping in sports. To explore this putative risk, the current study examined the frequency of sport supplement use and associations between the use of sport supplements and the use of doping substances and methods in athletes. : The participants ( = 345; 56% male, 22 ± 5 years, 18-43 years) completed measures of sport supplement use, sport supplement beliefs, doping likelihood, and doping use. Based on the Australian Institute of Sport's "Sports Supplement Framework", the participants were asked whether they used 23 sport supplements from four categories (sport foods, medical supplements, performance supplements, other). They were also asked whether they used six classes of doping substances and methods (alphabodies, stimulants, steroids, erythropoietin, growth hormone, blood doping). : Sport supplements were used by 96% of the athletes, whereas doping substances were used by 4% of the athletes. Moreover, athletes who used more sport supplements also used more doping substances. The use of sport supplements was related to the use of doping substances both directly and indirectly via sport supplement beliefs and doping likelihood. : Consumption of sport supplements is common, whereas doping is rare, and, moreover, the belief that sport supplements help optimize performance in competitive sport confers an increased risk for doping.
使用运动补充剂可能是体育界使用兴奋剂的一个风险因素。为了探究这一假定风险，本研究调查了运动员使用运动补充剂的频率，以及使用运动补充剂与使用兴奋剂物质和方法之间的关联。参与者（n = 345；56%为男性，年龄22±5岁，18 - 43岁）完成了关于运动补充剂使用、运动补充剂信念、使用兴奋剂可能性及使用兴奋剂情况的测量。基于澳大利亚体育学院的“运动补充剂框架”，询问参与者是否使用过四类（运动食品、医疗补充剂、性能增强补充剂、其他）中的23种运动补充剂。还询问了他们是否使用过六类兴奋剂物质和方法（字母异体、兴奋剂、类固醇、促红细胞生成素、生长激素、血液兴奋剂）。96%的运动员使用运动补充剂，而4%的运动员使用兴奋剂物质。此外，使用更多运动补充剂的运动员也使用更多的兴奋剂物质。运动补充剂的使用与兴奋剂物质的使用直接相关，并且通过运动补充剂信念和使用兴奋剂可能性间接相关。运动补充剂的消费很常见，而使用兴奋剂则很少见，此外，认为运动补充剂有助于在竞技运动中优化表现的信念会增加使用兴奋剂的风险。
