Performance Doping: One Stride Ahead of Detection

By 1928, in recognition of growing abuse, the IAAF banned stimulants, but without testing the ban was useless. Use of steroids and blood doping has since rampaged through sports, with cycling being the most notorious offender.
 
Today’s anti-cheating tests search for body-building steroids and related drugs, stimulants, human growth hormone (HGH), etc., while sports officials also check equipment to be sure it serves no unfair advantage to its users.

Harvey Shapiro has been an award winning TV commentator, researcher, author, mayor of Del Mar, and is an avid cyclist. He served as a Doping Control Officer in Utah's 2002 Winter Olympics and lives in Park City and San Diego.
