Abstract

Performance-enhancing substance use has been frequently discussed in the media. High-profile professional athletes have tested positive for performance-enhancing substances, while surveys indicate an escalating incidence of use among amateur athletes. Several articles have reviewed this concern in men's sports; however, this article discusses performance-enhancing drug and supplement use by women and girls.
