Study reveals surprising link between athletics and addiction

(University of Alberta) While investigating the idealized benefits between sport and addiction, Laurie de Grace, University of Alberta master's graduate, found that the prevalence of substance abuse in some sports communities, in fact, creates a greater risk of addictions for people already vulnerable to them.Surprised by the number of participants, de Grace interviewed a range of subjects including a gymnast, a rower, a martial artist and a significant number of athletes involved in team sports -- especially hockey.
