Performance enhancing drug use in sport arguably constitutes a crisis, and as such, targeted measures are needed in order to stem it. Substance abuse in professional sports and competitions has besmirched many world-class athletes' reputations and standing, in addition to jeopardizing their health. Furthermore, there are many instances of amateur athletes and school-aged competitors who have taken to using such substances as well, significantly exacerbating the overall picture. The widespread acknowledgement of the potentially life-threatening consequences of performance-enhancing drug use has prodded sports organizations and governments into cooperating on many different levels to preserve the ethical grounding and soundness of sport competitions; unlawful substance abuse is in fact liable to undermine the very core of fairness in competition. Doping, along with various forms of cheating, has been recorded throughout the history of sport: prohibition in itself is all but ineffective without reliable and systematic detection strategies and enforcement of sanctions.
在体育界使用提高成绩的药物可以说是构成了一场危机，因此，需要采取针对性措施来遏制这一现象。职业体育和比赛中的药物滥用不仅损害了许多世界级运动员的声誉和地位，还危及他们的健康。此外，也有许多业余运动员和学龄参赛者使用此类药物的情况，这大大加剧了整体问题。人们普遍认识到使用提高成绩的药物可能会危及生命，这促使体育组织和政府在许多不同层面展开合作，以维护体育比赛的道德基础和公正性；事实上，非法药物滥用可能会破坏比赛公平性的核心。在体育历史上，使用兴奋剂以及各种作弊形式屡见不鲜：如果没有可靠且系统的检测策略和制裁措施，仅仅靠禁令本身几乎毫无效果。
