Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Amphetamine is one of the drugs included in the ‘dope test’ for athletes.
Amphetamines are found in the urine soon after ingestion.
Since metabolism of amphetamines is slow, the drug is found in the urine for several subsequent days.
If the drug is found in the urine test of athletes, they are disqualified from participating.
Amphitamines are synthetic activators of sympathetic nerves bringing about increased activity and alertness.
They are used by some persons to work continuously for hours or to lose weight.
They may impair mental function.
The drugs are addictive.
