Resumo(s)
Nos últimos tempos os Jogos Paralímpicos têm vindo a demonstrar que a sociedade valoriza o desporto adaptado. Porém, tem-se assistido a um crescente número de escândalos, corrupção e meios ilícitos para alcançar o sucesso, o que demonstra que este contexto também não é imune aos atropelos à ética desportiva. Assim, este estudo pretendeu identificar as representações que atletas portugueses têm acerca da ética no desporto paralímpico, e assim identificar os valores que defendem, e conhecer os desafios que são colocados para a salvaguarda da ética neste contexto. Participaram no estudo 7 atletas portugueses paralímpicos, os quais tiveram pelo menos uma participação numa das edições dos Jogos Paralímpicos. O instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista semiestruturada e os dados obtidos foram tratados com o recurso à técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados obtidos permitem-nos apurar duas grandes dimensões de análise. A primeira diz respeito ao conceito de ética no desporto paralímpico, a qual se materializa num conjunto de valores éticos essenciais, tais como o respeito e o comportamento íntegro. A segunda dimensão remete para um conjunto de representações que procuram corporizar os desafios éticos que o desporto paralímpico enfrenta. Entre eles salientam-se a classificação desportiva e os comportamentos antiéticos, nomeadamente o uso do doping.
In recent times, the Paralympic Games have been demonstrating that society values adapted sports. However, there has been a growing number of scandals, corruption, and illicit means to achieve success, which shows that this context is not immune to violations of sports ethics. Thus, this study aimed to identify the representations that Portuguese athletes have regarding ethics in Paralympic sports, to identify the values they uphold, and to understand the challenges posed to the safeguarding of ethics in this context. The study involved 7 Portuguese Paralympic athletes, all of whom had participated at least once in one of the editions of the Paralympic Games. The instrument used was a semi-structured interview, and the data obtained were analysed using the content analysis technique. The results allow us to determine two major dimensions of analysis. The first pertains to the concept of ethics in Paralympic sports, which materialises in a set of essential ethical values, such as respect and integrity. The second dimension refers to a set of representations that seek to embody the ethical challenges faced by Paralympic sports. Among them, notable issues include sports classification and unethical behaviours, particularly doping.
