BBC Sport Amateur Sports Doping Survey
Survey of British adults, who are members of sports clubs, on behalf of BBC Sport on the increasing use of doping among amateur sports players.
  • A quarter (26%) of sports club members say they have previously consumed prescribed medications, such as Cortizone injections or asthma inhalers, to support their performance whilst playing sport.
  • One in seven (14%) sports club members say they have used recreational drugs for the same purpose, while 8% say they have used anabolic steroids.
  • A sizeable proportion of sports club report that performance enhancing drugs are frequently used, and easily available. Half (50%) of sports club members agree that taking substances which improve performance is widespread amongst people who play competitive sports, while the same proportion (49%) agree that performance enhancing drugs are easily available among people who play sports regularly.
  • A third (35%) of sports club members say they personally know someone who has used performance enhancing drugs to support their sporting performance or recovery.

FEATURED POLL

Sunday Express Voting Intention and BBC Poll

  • “We were so pleased with the results of the polling we commissioned through Savanta ComRes. Katie and her team were a steady hand of expertise throughout the whole process and worked quickly and professionally to meet our deadlines. The polling provided us with a hook that was instrumental in enabling our campaign to take light more quickly and gain a wider reach.”

  • “I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Charu, Rachel, and the rest of the Savanta ComRes team to any colleague who is interested in commissioning some polling. At every stage of our research with NHS leaders (from designing the questions, finding the right sample, going to field, analysing the results, and checking that we represented the findings accurately in our report), the team at Savanta ComRes were just brilliant – professional, responsive, expert, and enthusiastic about helping us achieve what we were after. I will definitely be working with them again in the future.”
    Faculty of Public Health
  • “Savanta ComRes led a very substantial and complex data project for us with really expert advice and guidance to make sure we got the best possible quality data. With the help and support of Savanta ComRes consultants and in house data experts we managed to put together a potentially very difficult project on time and to the highest quality. They understand their clients and what matters to them."
    Centre for Social Justice
  • Savanta ComRes were an absolute joy to work with. We needed a punchy poll-based story for the launch of the latest phase of our Choose Psychiatry recruitment campaign and Savanta ComRes delivered that in buckets, with the story getting national television, radio and print coverage as well as online.

  • Savanta ComRes help us produce data that our members value and allows us to communicate effectively to policymakers and the media about issues that are important to recruiters.
