In the olympics this year Russia got in a lot of trouble for doping.  They got a very bad reputation for this incident because it is cheating.

Behavioral - We know that doping is bad based on the side effects associated with it.

Biological - Genes influence athletes decisions to dope because if their family has had a history with drugs, the younger generations usually think that it is okay because their parents have done it.

Cognitive - When someone dope’s they get better, they go faster, they can go longer, this teaches the athlete that they can be better, that it is possible to be faster.  They remember this while training and competing, this makes them push harder.

Evolutionary - This was not a problem a hundred years ago but now many people have gotten into trouble doing it, because it is very competitive and people will do certain things for them to get ahead of the competition. (natural selection)

Humanistic - This shows that people are trying to over and beyond to try to beat others at a sport, to make them feel better,  and make them feel faster than others, to prove they are the best.

Psychodynamic - They go to their unconscious when it comes to doing what is best. You don’t normally think of the worst things first, you think of what is best to help you.

Social-cultural - Some countries accept doping more than others. For example, countries like Russia and China expect a lot out of their athletes and are usually more strict with them which leads to them doping because they feel like this will help them be better athletes.

Brief Summary: The four U.S swimmers came back from a club drunk, and had to ‘use’ the bathroom; so they went to use a bathroom in the gas station. Instead, they vandalized the bathroom and once they came back were asked at gunpoint to pay back the damage by a policeman. Ryan is a 12 time Olympic medalist, and ended up losing many of his sponsorships because of the debacle.

A. Behavioral: His lying was behavioral because he knew that getting caught in a lie would be bad for him

B. Biological: Intoxication from the alcohol fogged up their judgement, with chemicals in the brain being released (like epinephrine-adrenalin) so they didn’t totally understand what was actually happening. Once their brain got rid of those chemicals, they released what happened and because they knew they were going to be asked what happened epinephrine was released and they thought of a creative lie for what happened.

C. Cognitive: Intoxication influenced Ryan’s reasoning and actions and caused him to make poor decisions with little regard for the consequences

D. Evolutionary: Severe anger temperament was passed down from generations to generation through genetics

E. Humanistic: He may have lied and made up his story in order to gain attention, especially with his fellow US swimmer Michael Phelps getting more attention in the Olympics

F. Psychodynamic: Ryan lied in order to cover up his actions, foreseeing the consequences if the truth came out

G. Social-cultural: Ryan lied in because he was a public figure in the US and it the truth would defame him and his country, as well as the other Olympic swimmers that were with him at the gas station.
