| Title: | Drugs In Sports |

| Abstract: | Not all athletes play by the rulebook. Many
resort to drugs to enhance their performances. Apart from ethical implications
of these substances there are serious potential negative health effects too.
Taking drugs to enhance performances has always been considered a short cut to
sporting glory. This is the reason these drugs are also called Performance
Enhancing Drugs (PEDs). The "win at all costs" mentality fuels
athletes to seek performance-enhancing drugs to gain an advantage over their
opponents. |
