There is little data in India on the use of performance enhancing drugs in sports. But personal and incidental information shows that their use is far more extensive than is believed. This use occurs beyond the arena of high-level competitive sports. Even if the guidelines of the national and world anti-doping agencies were to become effective, they would not impact the larger environment where such drug use appears to be extensive. Which ethical guidelines advise the sports medical practitioner in prescribing medicines and training regimes for the athlete? Of particular concern is the role of paediatricians since training for sports or physical fitness is increasingly a youth phenomenon. The following is a discussion note, prompted by personal and anecdotal experience.
在印度，关于体育界使用提高成绩药物的数据很少。但个人经历和偶然获得的信息表明，这类药物的使用远比人们认为的更为广泛。这种使用不仅出现在高水平竞技体育领域。即使国家和世界反兴奋剂机构的指导方针生效，它们也不会对这类药物使用似乎广泛存在的大环境产生影响。对于为运动员开处方用药和制定训练方案，哪些道德准则能为体育医学从业者提供建议？特别值得关注的是儿科医生的作用，因为参与体育训练或健身的现象日益年轻化。以下是一篇基于个人经历和传闻而引发的讨论笔记。
