Which group is most likely to support anti-doping campaigns led by WADA and USADA?

• A. Believers in the great sport myth
• B. Skeptics of sport integrity
• C. Compliance officers
• D. Coaches who use performance enhancers

Answer: (A)

Believers in the great sport myth view sport as a pure, fair arena where winners earn their success through skill and hard work. Doping clashes directly with that ideal, so they’re most likely to back efforts to keep competition fair, including anti-doping campaigns led by WADA and USADA. These campaigns emphasize integrity, clean sport, and protecting athletes’ health, aligning with the belief that sport should be free from performance-enhancing drugs. In contrast, skeptics of sport integrity may doubt whether campaigns solve the problem or see doping as a more complex issue, compliance officers focus on enforcing rules rather than championing broader campaigns, and coaches who use enhancers have a direct reason to resist such efforts.
