There are two distinct aspects to drugs and sport. The first and most notably obvious, is the infatuation with the damage to sport itself by “drug cheats”.

The other, seldom mentioned, is the damage to the athlete by the use of drugs.
This should come under the heading of “occupational health and safety”.

If the issue were to be broached from an OHandS perspective, then all athletes (inclusive of children's sports), could be regulated intelligently. ATM nothing is credible in this field!
