This about someone who is not Making Much ADO about NOTHING?

Question

Can ANYONE DEFINE WHAT DOPING INVOLVES? and how can we not let it be misinterpereted?

Sports has been corrupted by people who dont know what they are looking for! Or just a lot to do about NOTHING.

Can Vitamins be considered as Performance enhancing?!

Answer 1

Doping is using dope (banned substances) to improve performance. This usually means: EPO; Human Growth Hormone; Testosterone; or Steroids. No, they are not making too much out of this. If the NFL tested like cycling does you would be SHOCKED! There is a ton of cheating going on in sports. Tiger Woods said he thought there are golfers using steroids.

Answer 2

Doping is taking any performance-enhancing substance. Most vitamins are considered 'natural substances' and are OK. Also, riders can get dispensations to use some substances, which IMHO opens up the whole system to abuse. For instance, I read once that 40% of the peloton *claim* to be asthmatic, with 'doctor's excuses' to use albuterol, which opens up the airways in the lungs and lets the user breathe more deeply. That's a much higher asthmatic percentage than in the general population - coincidence?

Answer 3

i agree with the first post--depends on the vitamins.
