Johan Öhman is the project manager for Prodis (Prevention of doping in Sweden), which works with a working method called 100% pure hard training. It aims to reduce doping problems at gym facilities in Sweden.

"We bombed them with e-mails"

Johan Öhman mentions that Kalmar County and Kronoberg County have worked with doping problems for many years and that cooperation with the regions was quickly achieved. But in Jönköping County, it took time for Prodis to get started.

- We met with some skepticism, we have worked a lot with outreach activities and we have bombed gym facilities with e-mails, says Johan Öhman.

Several years later, gym facilities in the county have become interested in the anti-doping network, hear more about it in the clip above.

"100,000 Swedes Baptize"

A major problem Prodis points out is that according to them there are researchers who believe that almost 100,000 Swedes are doping. However, Prodis believes that there are no reliable measurements of the exact number that use doping preparations in Sweden.

Notices of doping in the county

81 reports of doping offenses of various kinds were made in Jönköping County in 2018, 43 of the suspected offenses must have taken place in Jönköping municipality. It shows figures from the Crime Prevention Council, Brå. It is not stated in the statistics where all suspected crimes should have occurred and therefore they do not need to be connected to different gym facilities.
