Performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) have been used by athletes for as long as sporting competitions have existed. To protect the health and safety of athletes and promote fair play, banned substance lists were developed that include several classes of PEDs. Evidence shows that a majority of athletes use dietary supplement products to aid their training and support their health. Evidence also indicates that use of some dietary supplements carries a risk because the products may contain banned PEDs. Consumers and athletes should weigh a number of considerations before purchasing and consuming dietary supplements to protect their health, reputation, and the spirit of fair competition.
兴奋剂（PED）在体育运动存在的那一刻起就被运动员使用了。为了保护运动员的健康和安全，促进公平竞争，制定了禁用物质清单，其中包括几类 PED。有证据表明，大多数运动员使用膳食补充剂来帮助他们训练和支持他们的健康。有证据还表明，一些膳食补充剂的使用存在风险，因为这些产品可能含有禁用的 PED。消费者和运动员在购买和食用膳食补充剂之前，应该权衡许多因素，以保护他们的健康、声誉和公平竞争的精神。
