Athletes shouldn’t do drugs in sports because it is bad for your health and bad for the team. Doing drugs in sports can affect the athlete’s social life and affect the athlete’s talents. It can also affect the athlete’s relationship with the team. Drug abuse occurs in all sports and at most levels of competition. Athletic life may lead to drug abuse for a number of reasons, including for performance enhancement, to self-treat otherwise untreated mental illness, and to deal with stressors, such as pressure to perform, injuries, physical pain, and retirement from sport. This review examines the history of doping in athletes, the effects of different classes of substances used for doping, side effects of doping, the role of anti-doping organizations,

Some of these changes occur immediately, while others only happen over time. Every side effect of drug use has the potential to be severe, but the physical effects can be especially dangerous. A person should therefore try to avoid combining drug use with any type of physical activity.Sports were designed to be a fun and competitive way to gain exercise. They were not designed to include drug use. Communicate the serious effect of drugs on the game by asking your players to guess how their foul shots, field goals, or home runs would be affected by drugs. To put it simply, they won't happen.

Many methods of blood doping are illegal, particularly in professional sports.Famous athletes like Lance Armstrong and Alex Rodriguez have been linked to erythropoietin (EPO)—one method for blood doping. EPO is among the top two PEDs abused by athletes (the first being human growth hormone), even though it increases the risk for several deadly diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and a blood clot in the brain or lungs.Although blood doping can be difficult to detect, scientists are working on better methods of detection.Some athletes abuse performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs)—like anabolic steroids and stimulants (including caffeine and ephedrine, and even methamphetamine)—to help them perform better. Steroids build muscles and improve athletic performance. Stimulants increase focus, endurance, and speed. Each comes with its own set of risks. But in general, these PEDs increase the risk for high blood pressure, an enlarged heart, irregular heart rate, heart attack, stroke, dangerously high body temperatures, and intense anger or paranoia. Far from a winning combination. PEDs have the ability to alter the human body and biological functions, including the ability to considerably improve athletic performance. The primary
