Optimising Anti-doping Control Systems in Football Codes in Australia [Project Report 2023]
University of the Sunshine Coast

Abstract
The use of performance enhancing substances or ‘doping’ continues to represent a major risk in high performance sports. Doping occurs in a complex and dynamic environment that comprises multiple hierarchical levels of the system that cannot be easily explained or understood. However, the majority of research on doping has focused on the athlete and much less on the complex set of interactions occurring across the broader sports system. As such, novel approaches to understanding the systemic influences on doping in sport may help support the development of more effective prevention efforts. Systems thinking-based methods are one approach that is currently popular when attempting to understand and optimise the behaviour of complex systems. Part of the systems thinking approach involves applying a series of analytical modelling methods to understand the composition and behaviour of entire systems to support the identification of opportunities for optimisation.
