Abstract

The use of performance-enhancing agents has been integral in athletic competition since its inception, yet the introduction of pharmaceutical drugs used in excessive doses, threatening the lives and health of athletes, has led to certain “doping” agents being banned and criminalized. Despite the pressures placed by the sanctioning organizations and law enforcement agencies, abuse of performance-enhancing drugs is prevalent, with use being common among adolescents and young adults.
