Doping in sports refers to the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) by athletes as a means to cheat. According to the World Anti-Doping Code by WADA, doping is defined as any occurrence of anti-doping rule violations. The practice is considered unethical and is prohibited by most international sports organizations, including the International Olympic Committee. The reasons for banning doping primarily include health risks associated with performance-enhancing drugs, maintaining equality among athletes, and promoting the spirit of sport for the public good [1].
