The national team athletes were asked to fill the sentence “doping is like…, because…”. In research, phenomenological method from the qualitative research approaches was used. For the analysis of data, content analysis method was used. For the reliability of the research data analysis, reliability coefficient among participants was calculated and this value was found to be 96%. With the evaluation of data, it was appeared that national team athletes produced 28 metaphors at total. These metaphors were gathered under 5 different categories. As a result, it was determined that national team athletes produced metaphors related to doping mostly at the category of “in terms of being deceptive”, and this is followed by the categories of “in terms of increasing performance”, “in terms of causing unfair acquisition”, in terms of being unhealthy” and “in terms of causing failure”. Dead metaphors such as illegal electricity, gamble, drugs and provision with no effort were generally used for doping. As a result, it was determined that national team athletes expressed the concept of doping through metaphors with quite rich and different perspectives. Accordingly, metaphors determined in this study can help draw the attention those concerned by using in anti-doping. Key Words: doping, metaphor, national team athlete, qualitative research method.
