    The document is an outline for a multimodal project on doping in sports. It will be a video presentation discussing why the topic was chosen, its importance, and the effect they wish to create. Doping is defined broadly and new techniques make detection difficult, so they aim to expose cases where doping gave an unfair advantage. Athletes are role models so doping influences culture. The video will use interviews, statistics, and an informative tone to convince viewers of the harmful consequences of prohibited substances.

    Multimodal Project

    Doping in Sports

    i) Why we chose our topic?

    Doping is a term with an extremely broad definition. Although doping in sports can be used
    for various reasons, the main purpose of our multimodal project is to expose some cases in
    which doping has been used against the rules of a competition or tournament. "In fact, new,
    more powerful and undetectable doping techniques and substances are now abused by
    professional athletes, while sophisticated networks of distribution have developed" (Baron &
    Martin & Magd, 2007). This implies that, in today's world, it is very difficult to detect those
    athletes. For this reason, it is necessary to report some cases in which doping substances were
    not allowed and gave an advantage to those who used them.

    ii) The importance and relevance of our topic.

    According to Baron, Martin and Magd (2007) "Professional athletes are often the role models
    of adolescent and young adult populations, who often mimic their behaviors, including the
    abuse of drugs." Athletes are often an important part of society. Likewise, doping has directly
    influenced much of the general culture, and it is important to know some of these cases.

    iii) The effect we wish to create.

    The idea arises from reporting a fact that is not generally considered. It is important to know
    how the use of substances not allowed to improve performance or accelerate recovery affects
    professional sports competitions. We also want people to understand what the consequences
    are for athletes.

    iv) Why we chose our specific mode?

    We chose to make a video. The video will serve as the main mode of communication to show
    what happened in certain cases. As Clarine (2016) mentions video displays nonverbal
    communication, engages audiences, and incites action, among others.

    v) The rhetorical, visual, aural, and linguistic techniques that we have incorporated and
    how we have considered our rhetorical situation.

    We have considered that the issue of doping in sports needs to be observed, analyzed, and
    communicated to the whole world. Above all, the consequences of prohibited substances are
    harmful, and rhetoric will help us convince people that they should be careful with them and
    be advised by a professional. Also, the methods used are the following:

     Ethos. We will use reliable sources and an informative tone.


     Pathos. Empathy and awareness on the part of those who made the video. Interviews
    with professional athletes will also be used.
     Logos. Competitions data and statistics.
