The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), established in 1999, is an international independent agency composed and funded equally by the sport movement and governments of the world. The organisation aims to include scientific research, education, development of anti-doping capacities, and monitor the World Anti-Doping Code (the document harmonizing anti-doping policies in all sports and all countries).

In 2006, Justin Gatlin, the defending 100-metre Olympic champion, was banned for doping three weeks after equalling the world record (9.77 seconds at the time). Later in 2009, Yohan Blake received a three-month ban for doping. Two years later, he became world champion in the 100-metre sprint and won a silver medal at the Olympics. He co-owns the second-fastest time in history alongside the recently banned Tyson Gay at 9.69 seconds. In 2011, Steve Mullings of Jamaica was hit with a lifetime ban following a positive test for a masking product after having run a personal best 9.8 seconds.” (The Conversation, 2013) In 2005, T Fahey said: “The winner will be the person with a combination of the genetic potential, training psychology and judgment.

The problem is that these protein can have a severe side effect if taken incorrectly or in wrong amounts. It can cause serious health complications, and even deaths.

Competitors would prepare harder and try to meet their goals while some will attempt to cheat their way by utilizing enhanced medications to expand their capacities even beyond. The want to win is very affected in the idea of games, and a few competitors will do whatever it takes to ascend to the top. Over the most recent few years, numerous competitors in various games have been caught using performance enhancement drugs. At the point when a competitor tests positive to participate in sports, the competitor is either disqualified or suspended for the entire game.
