The History Behind Body Enhancing Drugs

Body enhancing drugs are a very controversial issue that started a very long time ago, even tracking all the way back Greece during the 1904 Olympic Games. By the 1920's it had appeared that there needed to be rules against doping. In 1928 the IAAF became the first International Sport Federation to ban doping. Most IFs introduced drug testing by the 1970s, and by 1974 all uses of anabolic steroids were being caught. This was only the start too doping though because some people found a way to get past the tests.

Soon there came some problems too stoping the doping problem. While the fight against stimulants and steroids was producing results, the main front in the anti-doping war was rapidly shifting to blood doping. "Blood boosting." This completely slowed down the process of stoping doping. In 1998 a large number of prohibited medical substances were found by police in a raid during the Tour de France. The scandal led to a major reappraisal of the role of public authorities in anti-doping affairs. As early as 1963, France had been the first country to enact anti-doping legislation. This is how the past decade has changed doping and people are still coming with new ways to cheat drug tests.
