Release Notes

Since the dawn of competitive sports, athletes have used enhancement
drugs and methods to increase their performance and reach artificially
heightened levels of athleticism. Although the past century has
seen increased regulation and testing for enhancement drugs, it has
also seen an equally increased level of use. Today, enhancement drugs
are used all over the world, at all levels of sport, from high school
athletics to the highest rungs of Olympic competition. These drugs,
however, have gone beyond their traditional role as artificial aids for
athletes. They are now used by teenagers and adults alike to increase
energy, lose weight, and achieve better-looking physiques. This trend
has been reinforced by a society that places an extremely high value
on “being number one” and having a “perfect body.” The trend of
body enhancement drug use for sports, however, although it seems
to be escalating exponentially, is far from new.
