French children regard doping as normal A report carried
out by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
(CNRS) in France has found that the majority of young
children believe that it's normal to take performance
enhancing drugs in sport. "Children of six years find it
just as legitimate to take drugs to improve sporting
performance as it is to take them to cure a sickness,"
professor Roland Jouvent was quoted by AP as saying. "This
'pre-doping' is as important as doping itself...the
national education should be concerned with this."

Yes, it's not surprising. I remember some whiners
complaining of "dodgeball at two speeds" even when I
was a kid.

France has the biggest drug culture of any country in
Europe. Just try to leave the doctors without a prescription
for enough drugs to fill a backpack. It's unreal.

Not surprising little kids see taking drugs for all sorts of
things as normal. It's part of the culture.

The research was authorised by ASO, the company that
organises the Tour de France and has since 2001 initiated
a 10 point plan to combat doping in cycling. Part of this
plan includes funding research into doping in sport.

Professor Jouvent is expected to release his final
conclusions on the study by the start of June this year.
