An Athlete Wants to Train Harder and Become a Better

question 36

Essay

An athlete wants to train harder and become a better player so he approaches a sports psychologist to help him achieve this. When talking to the psychologist, the psychologist reveals that if the player decides to hire him, they can do a workout program that will increase his running time by 30% and his muscle mass by 15%. The athlete is impressed and decides to go ahead and hire her. After 3 weeks of training, the psychologist and athlete start dating. They are quite happy; except the athlete can't help but notice the results he was promised are not being shown. He hasn't increased his muscle mass much at all and his running time has only increased by a few seconds. This is because the psychologist did not actually have the evidence to support the findings that she told the athlete.
State and explain what the ethical concerns of the above scenario are.
