Sažetak
The aim of our study was to evaluate doping attitudes (DA), and certain correlates of DA in competitive rowing athletes. Study included 53 competitive male rowing athletes from Croatia (age: 20.47±4.17 years). The data was collected by previously validated questionnaires. Apart from descriptive statistics, logistic regression was calculated for categorical criterion – doping likelihood with positive DA set as referent value. Majority of rowers (64.15%) stated that doping is primarily a problem of “fair play”. Self-education is reported as a primary source of information about doping and nutrition in 56.60% of rowers. Altogether 56.60% of rowers specifically declared negative DA. Logistic regression results show no significant correlation. Because of the relatively high percentage of rowers with positive DA, and the fact that majority of studied athletes declared fair-play as the most important problem of doping, there is a clear necessity of anti-doping education in this sport.
