Question

Consider the following statements. Statement I: Cannabinoids are being abused by sports persons (doping). Statement II: Cocaine is involved in the transport of neurotransmitter dopamine.

• A. Both statement I and statement II are true
• B. Both statement I and statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true, but statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false, but statement II is true

Hint:

Drug actions: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} &\text{Cannabinoids} &&\rightarrow \text{Drugs of abuse (doping)} &\text{Cocaine} &&\rightarrow \text{Blocks dopamine reuptake transporter} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Evaluate Statement I. Cannabinoids are abused as recreational drugs and are also included among substances prohibited in sports. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Statement I is true}.} \]

Step 2: Evaluate Statement II. Cocaine interferes with the dopamine transporter and affects dopamine transport at synapses. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Statement II is true}.} \]

Step 3: Choose the correct option. Since both statements are true, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
