This article presents information on doping in sports. The extent of doping in sports has increased greatly in modern times, particularly in recent decades, as new drugs are constantly being developed. As the tests have become more sophisticated, so have the efforts to subvert them. The year 2004 marked a watershed moment in the ongoing effort to catch athletes using anabolic-androgenic steroids. Anabolic-androgenic steroids are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone testosterone. First isolated and synthesized in 1935, these steroids were exploited for their anabolic properties. |
