What Do Performance-Enhancing Drugs Do To Your Body?

In competitive sports, doping is the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The term doping is widely used by organizations that regulate sporting competitions.

Furthermore, athletes taking explicit measures to evade detection exacerbates the ethical violation with overt deception and cheating.
