Abstract
Sprinter Ben Johnson's lifelong expulsion from international competition forces the sports medicine community to acknowledge, once again, the temptation performance-enhancing drugs pose for athletes. The drive to jump a little higher, run a little faster, or be a little stronger continues to compel some athletes to seek an edge through drugs. To better prepare physicians who must guide patients faced with these temptations, we gathered four medical experts to discuss current information about anabolic-androgenic steroids.
