A Critical Review on Operation and Management System of Doping Control Officer in Korea Anti-Doping Agency

摘要

The purpose of this study is to discuss doping, an issue which has been magnified by the ever critical view of an information-oriented society, and suggest a solution to this issue [1-3]. First of all, let us discuss the characteristics of modem society and the use of doping. Doping can be described as a quiet struggle between players who want to hide their use of doping and the doping control officers (DCO) who want to catch it. Currently, players are able to take advantage of an information-oriented society to evade detection. Some doubt has been expressed concern as to pretesting schedules are often leaked out ahead of time in KBO (The Korea Baseball Organization). It implies that there are security vulnerabilities via DCOs or hackers, allowing for information leakage. To resolve this, the study suggests (1) selecting full time DCOs; (2) tightening security within the DCO management system; (3) expansion of doping control and (4) ethics education for DCOs.
