The competitive nature of sport sometimes corrupts sportspersons. Many international performers have fallen prey to the lure of illegal and banned performance-enhancing drugs and methods. Across the world, the organizers of sporting events have created stringent drug-detection tests to ensure that the spirit of sport is upheld.
