It seems everywhere you look these days an athelete or a footballer has been banned for taking an ilegal substance. So are the days of naturally fit and talented sportsmen and women gone.

But there seems to be so many banned substances and new ones appear all the time which makes it extrememly hard to detect if someone is using them. There isn't tests available to detect all these substances and some contain masking agents making it even harder to detect.So are some people getting away with it?

Alot of people that get banned don't even know they have taken it. Many of the Dutch football team were banned after failing drug tests, they all claim that they didn't know about it and it was the doctors who administered them without telling the players. This is terrible for sport. It's supposed to be competitive but this takes things to far, why should they have un natural advantages?

It seems no matter what that the days of the best man wins are gone. Drugs is a serious problem in sport and dosn't look like it will go away until we can test for all known substances.
But remember the well known phrase, "Winners don't do drugs!"

Hmmmm, I cant help thinking that there's something 'wrong' with this statement. I can't place my finger on it...

Check for Dorito's crumbs on the bibs of athletes before commencing the race/whatever. It's the best way to be sure.

Either that or stake out the Olyimpic village and see who's ordering Domino's at 4:30am.

Drugs are bad, M'kay....
