kfsdjhgdshjhhhaawwweeaaa aaaa Since the times of the first, ancient Olympics, since the dawn of sports people have been cheating. That was then and that is now. Anti-doping organizations and sports associations are constantly chasing dopers who resort to more radical means every time. The lengths to which these “athletes” go to get an advantage is sometimes shocking. They are literally putting their lives in danger by experimenting with non-clinically tested drugs.
This blog post is meant to give an insight in the newest doping products that are out there on the market and to show how hard it is to actually detect these. And how scientific progress is often misused by cheaters. The sources I used are all scientific and can be send upon request.
In 2008, Cell published an article which was looked on with interest by the world of sports. Professor Ron Evans of La Jolla, California was doing research to find a cure for the increasing epidemic of obesity and diabetes. He found a substance that would trick the cells in thinking they exercised a lot while in fact they had been mostly idle. The mice ran faste, had better endurance and burnt fat.
When the mice were actually following a training regime the results almost doubled. The media dubbed it the “coach-potato drug”, the miracle cure to obesity and diabetes for people who were unable to exercise.
