Doping in sports refers to the use of prohibited substances or methods to enhance athletic performance. This practice undermines the integrity of competition and poses serious health risks to athletes. Organizations like the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) work to combat doping through testing and enforcement of regulations. Despite these efforts, doping remains a significant challenge in many sports, leading to ongoing debates about fairness and ethics in competition.
