What is "doping" in sports?
The use of banned substances or methods to unfairly enhance athletic performance.
Doping means the use of prohibited substances (such as anabolic steroids, stimulants, EPO) or prohibited methods (such as blood doping) to artificially and unfairly boost athletic performance. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA, 1999) publishes the Prohibited List; in India, NADA (National Anti-Doping Agency) enforces it.
Advanced training techniques, permitted nutritional supplements and psychological conditioning are legal ways of improving performance, so they are not doping.
