Marion Lois Jones (born October 12, 1975), also known as Marion Jones-Thompson, is
an American former world champion track-and-field athlete and former professional
basketball player. She won three gold medals and two bronze medals at the 2000
Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but was later stripped of her medals after
admitting to steroid use. Her ex-husband Hunter, an Olympic shotputter and confessed
steroid user, testified under oath that he had seen her inject drugs into her stomach in
the Olympic Village in Sydney. Jones vehemently denied using performance-enhancing
drugs until her confession in 2007.
Prior to bobsledding, she competed in track and field, specializing in the heptathlon. She
placed tenth at the 2004 World Junior Championships, was a bronze medallist at the 2009
European Athletics U23 Championships, and in her final year of competition she came
21st in the 2010 Hypo-Meeting.In February 2018, during the 2018 Winter Olympics,
Sergeeva tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug trimetazidine.[8]
That drug is used by people with cardiac insufficiency. Her mother Tatiana works as
physician in the Cardiac Center of Kemerovo.[9] Her results were annulled and she was
suspended on 24 February 2018.
Lance Armstrong
Armstrong became the subject of doping allegations after he won the 1999 Tour de
France. For years, he denied involvement in doping. In 2012, a United States Anti-Doping
Agency (USADA) investigation concluded that Armstrong had used
performance-enhancing drugs over the course of his career[5] and named him as the
ringleader of "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program
that sport has ever seen".[6] While maintaining his innocence, Armstrong chose not to
contest the charges, citing the potential toll on his family.[7] He received a lifetime ban
from all sports that follow the World Anti-Doping Code, ending his competitive cycling
career.[8] The International Cycling Union (UCI) upheld USADA's decision[9] and decided
that his stripped wins would not be allocated to other riders.
Alcoholism
Effects Of Alcoholism
Temporary effects you might notice while drinking alcohol (or shortly after) can include:
- the action or practice of inhaling and exhaling vapour containing nicotine and
flavouring produced by a device designed for this purpose.
● Asthma. Vaping can make you more likely to get asthma and other lung
conditions. It can make your existing asthma worse.
● Lung scarring. Diacetyl, a chemical used in some flavorings, can cause
bronchiolitis obliterans (“popcorn lung”). Bronchiolitis obliterans causes
permanent scarring in your lungs.
● Organ damage. In addition to your lungs, nicotine and other substances in e-liquid
can hurt your heart and brain. We know nicotine can hurt brain development, raise
your blood pressure and narrow your arteries.
● Addiction. Nicotine is highly addictive. It causes changes in your brain so you
want more and more nicotine. You might not be able to stop vaping if you want to
or if it starts causing health problems. Even e-liquids that say they’re nicotine free
have small amounts of nicotine.
Tobacco
- is the common name of several plants in the genus Nicotiana of the family
Solanaceae, and the general term for any product prepared from the cured leaves
of these plants. More than 70 species of tobacco are known, but the chief
commercial crop is N. tabacum.
Use of tabacoo can causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic
bronchitis. Smoking also increases risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and
problems of the immune system, including rheumatoid arthritis.
