Clean Boxing Program: The fight against the consumption of performance enhancing and recreational drugs<\/p>\n

It is known by all that an undefined percentage of boxers suffers some drug addiction at some point in their career.<\/p>\n

Many of them come from difficult origins and from days in which they had to struggle hungry to overcome challenging adversity. The humble origin from which many fighters come is a trigger, plus a rapid and fleeting popularity and fame that provides everything imaginable.<\/p>\n

Suddenly that young person who had nothing, has everything. From one moment to another there are a lot of money, parties, \u201cfriends\u201d, fame, glory and among all this the enemy that lurks with stealth, waiting for the moment when the boxer feels invincible, namely the scourge of drugs.<\/p>\n

In general, drug use starts for several reasons: The majority is that almost all this type of substance abuse produces intense sensations of pleasure. This initial effect of euphoria is followed by others, which vary according to the type of drug consumed. For example, with stimulants such as cocaine, the feeling of euphoria is almost always accompanied by feelings of power, self-confidence and greater energy.<\/p>\n

Some others who suffer from anxiety or disorders related to stress and depression, begin to abuse drugs in an attempt to diminish feelings of anguish.<\/p>\n

And of course in some cases to perform better, chemically increasing their cognitive abilities or physical performance.<\/p>\n

Cases known as the great Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez, Carlos Z\u00e1rate, Mike Tyson, Hilario Zapata, Wilfredo G\u00f3mez, Alfonso Zamora, Sugar Ray Leonard, are examples of stars that reached the top and for various reasons were influenced in the wrong way, buying a false happiness.<\/p>\n

The relationship between athletes and doping substances goes back a long way and is there are some records even in Ancient Greece, in the Olympic Games of the third century BC, where some athletes resorted to certain mushrooms to increase their performance and that is according to with the Royal Academy terminology, which defines doping as: Administering drugs or stimulating substances TO ARTIFICIALLY ENHANCE the performance, sometimes, with danger to health.<\/p>\n

Cocaine, for example, acts directly on the central nervous system and not on the muscular system, as this drug has no effect on the muscles. Therefore, athletes often use it in small doses to hide fatigue, achieving training without too much difficulty or simply as a recreational drug.<\/p>\n

Danger of its consumption:<\/p>\n

\u2013 sudden death<\/p>\n

\u2013 increase in predisposition to arrhythmias<\/p>\n

-ventricular fibrillation<\/p>\n

\u2013 significant decrease in corollary blood flow<\/p>\n

\u2013 sudden decrease in oxygen supply<\/p>\n

\u2013 rapid weight loss<\/p>\n

\u2013 permanent damage to the heart, brain and \/ or blood vessels<\/p>\n

\u2013 heart attacks<\/p>\n

\u2013 loss of sense of smell<\/p>\n

\u2013 damage to the liver, kidneys and \/ or lungs<\/p>\n

\u2013 destruction of nasal tissues<\/p>\n

\u2013 respiratory insufficiency<\/p>\n

\u2013 high blood pressure<\/p>\n

Different cases and reasons with one factor in common, feeling like being in \u201chell\u201d and is that all who have walked through this dark passage of addictions agree that it is like visiting the abyss.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, many fighters have rectified this, overcoming one of the most important battles where life itself is at stake.<\/p>\n
