Many question what it means to be successful. Does it mean to work hard or do what is necessary to win? Countless athletes are known for using performance enhancers, a practice in the modern day known as “doping”, which is not accepted by society. Consequently, doping is a serious issue that the sporting world faces today, where we no longer assume athletes are winning due to strenuous work and natural abilities. It is visible that when athletes win an event, especially when by a large margin, people assume that they must have been taking performance enhancing drugs. Unfortunately, this is true for most athletes a considerable amount of the time. It was not until World War II where doping is brought into the light, where drugs were passed out like candy and drew soldiers in.
