Doping Concerns

Meaning

Doping Concerns refer to the serious ethical, regulatory, and health-related issues arising from the non-therapeutic use of performance-enhancing substances, particularly those that modulate the endocrine system, within competitive sports. This area of clinical and ethical scrutiny encompasses the illicit administration of anabolic agents, peptide hormones, or growth factors to artificially augment physiological capacity beyond natural limits. The core concern is the compromise of fair competition and the significant, often irreversible, adverse health risks imposed upon the athlete.
