BC Period
Sport played a large role in society in BC times. Around the period of 800BC emphasis was placed on the artistic nature
of sport on top of being a preparatory method for the warriors of that time.
However from 400BC sport received a new status whereby it was of similar
priority, if not higher than it is in modern times, therefore seeing the demise
of the amateur competitor. Professional sport ultimately led to corruption and
cheating, with competitors willing to invest in any preparation which would lead
to victory. In this period a method that was thought to lead to a higher level
of sporting performance was consuming extracts of mushrooms and plant seeds.

succeed in sport became highly valued. This placed pressure which has
contributed to the escalation in drug taking in sport, as well as the number of
drug related deaths in the sporting community.
Modern Times

1990.
