Abstract
Use of performance-enhancing substances is widespread among competitive athletes, whether professional or amateur, adolescent or adult. Some of these substances are legal and beneficial, but others are illegal or have adverse or unproven effects. This article describes the action and effects of these substances, their legality, and their potential for abuse.
