Any substance (or food) that is believed to enhance one’s performance above normal standards
The IOC definition: “The administration or use of substances in any form alien to the body or of physiological substances in abnormal amounts and with abnormal methods by health persons with the exclusive aim of attaining an artificial and unfair increase in performance in sports”

The goal of sporting organizations is to protect the health of athletes and to help ensure that competition is fair and equitable.
Sports programs should have full-service programs that provide substance abuse education, counseling, and drug-detection.
Drug testing should be performed periodically in a random manner.
![Page 17: Ergogenic Aids](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5681439a550346895db0182c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Athletes, parents, coaches, athletic trainers, physicians, and administrators must be educated about the dangers of drug abuse and the fact that it has no place in sports participation and recreation.
Above all, a sports program must adopt the philosophy that “winning at all costs” is wrong.
It is essential for athletes to believe that if they do their very best and adhere to the rules of the sport, they will be doing exactly what is expected of them.
