Doping Harms Athletes’ Reputations: Iranian Powerlifter Rahman
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iran’s world champion powerlifter Siamand Rahman believes that doping erases the credibility of an athlete’s performance and harms the reputation of all competitors.
“I see this matter as an unsportsmanlike act,” Rahman told Paralympic.org.
“Everyone who commits a doping violation will question all the endeavors of others. The value of fair competition is important, so I avoid eating in unknown places which I have no knowledge about.”
“I care about my physical condition to avoid injuries and try to keep healthy,” Rahman said.
“My nutrition is regular; some people think the level of my food might change, but it is not true. I do not follow any special diet or supplement.”
