体育运动的成功可以为一个社会带来民族自豪感，并为运动员个人带来巨大的经济和个人回报。因此，毫不奇怪，许多运动员将竭尽全力追求成功。为精英运动员提供医疗保健有可能给运动医生带来许多伦理问题;然而，迄今为止，对这些问题的讨论很少。这项研究强调了这些问题。问卷调查的受访者确定了许多医学其他领域常见的伦理问题。然而，他们也提出了运动医学特有的问题。其中一些伦理问题是由于体育医生在体育运动中的地位而产生的。还有一些是由于运动医生和运动员个人之间的特殊关系而产生的。这项研究提出了一些重要的问题，关于体育保健的治理，以及什么样的支持和指导是提供给体育医生。随着对体育运动的医疗和科学干预不断升级，对提高成绩的要求可能会损害运动员的健康，体育医生所发挥的作用仍然是一个关键问题。
Success in sport can provide a source of national pride for a society, and vast financial and personal rewards for an individual athlete. It is therefore not surprising that many athletes will go to great lengths in pursuit of success. The provision of healthcare for elite sports people has the potential to create many ethical issues for sports doctors; however there has been little discussion of them to date. This study highlights these issues. Respondents to a questionnaire identified many ethical matters, common to other areas of medicine. However they also raised problems unique to sports medicine. Some of these ethical difficulties arise out of the place of the sports doctor within the hierarchy of sport. Yet others arise out of the special relationship between sports doctors and individual players/athletes. This study raises some important questions regarding the governance of healthcare in sport, and what support and guidance is available to sports doctors. As medical and scientific intervention in sport escalates, there is a risk that demands for enhanced performance may compromise the health of the athlete, and the role the sports doctor plays remains a critical question.
