Drugs and methods to improve physical performance among athletes have been used since the beginning of sport history, but the use of performance enhancing drugs has not always been regarded as cheating. In short, the motives for doping are improving and maintaining physical functioning, coping with the social/psychological pressures and striving for social and psychological goals, including economic benefits. Factors such as, "doping dilemma", "win at all costs", cost versus benefit, and the specificity of some specific doping agents, also play major roles. It seems that action on the athletes' attitude about the achievement of physical improvement and creating effective methods to reveal the drug abuse, are two main ways in winning the struggle against doping.
自从体育历史开始以来，运动员们就一直在使用提高体能的药物和方法，但使用提高成绩的药物并非总是被视为作弊。简而言之，使用兴奋剂的动机包括改善和维持身体机能、应对社会/心理压力以及追求社会和心理目标，包括经济利益。诸如“兴奋剂困境”“不惜一切代价取胜”、成本与收益以及某些特定兴奋剂的特性等因素也起着重要作用。看来，改变运动员对提高体能的态度以及创造揭露药物滥用的有效方法，是在反兴奋剂斗争中获胜的两个主要途径。
