Understanding Performance-Enhancing Drug UseDAVID WANG MD,.docxwillcoxjanay
Understanding Performance-Enhancing Drug Use
DAVID WANG MD, MS
ABSTRACT—Performance-enhancing drug use
is a prevalent problem in sports. It is a problem
that has captured the world's attention as the media
highlights story after story of athletes who have
transformed their bodies over a short period of time,
those who have simply defíed the aging process in
an attempt to prolong a career and those whose ca-
reers have been tarnished because of drug use. The
baseball investigations and the Mitchell Report*
of 2007 opened our eyes and gave us a glimpse of a
secretive underground world. This "world" is much
more intelligent and sophisticated than it is given
credit for. It is the goal of this article to increase the
awareness of the medical provider about the types of
steroids and other medications used, the influence
these substances have on the athletes, and how and
why they use them.

RUG use is an area in sports medicine that is crucial
to recognize and is poorly studied, largely because
the use of performance-enhancing substances
are illegal and therefore rarely, if ever, reported. It is an
area difficult to gather scientific data about, but with the
severity of consequences from the use of these substances
it is imperative that the prudent practitioner is familiar
enough with the substances and practices that red flags
would be recognized and an open and honest discussion
with the patient on the wrong path could occur.
During the course of a 20-year practice of sports medi-
cine and I have encountered the use of these substances
by athletes of all sorts. I have spent time in a smaller
gym populated by serious bodybuilders and witnessed
practices most would not know existed. Through con-
versations with these bodybuilders, and I have learned of
the countless steroids that are "stacked" and the myriad
of other medications used to achieve their desired results
or to manage side effects. The medical community is well
aware of the existence of anabolic-androgenic steroids
and human growth hormone ( H G H ) and their use for
performance enhancement. However, most practitioners
are often not well versed on the specific types of steroids
and other medications that are used in combination with
these ergogenic aids. It is the "other" medications that
are responsible for much of the morbidity and mortal-
ity within this population. When these athletes die it
is often due to narcotic addiction and, to a much lesser
degree, anabolic steroids and growth hormone use. Al-
though the exact number of deaths is unknown, I have
seen and heard of several. In my experience and I have
witnessed or cared for several tragic deaths in training
and competition. The number of deaths witnessed from
drug use equals those observed from congenital heart
disease and head injury.

-Summary
Who would not want to have an athletic, toned body? In addition to being in good health conditions. Because it is a great challenge that not many people can be achieved, mainly due to the mental weakness, regardless of whether a slim wants to increase its weight, or as in the majority of cases, a person with overweight want to get off.
No matter if you’re a world-class athlete or fitness enthusiast, from fueling to recovery, muscle building to fat burning, you are what you eat. Maintaining strong performance and energy levels to take your game to the next level involves much more than just keeping in shape.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Getting the Edge
Baseball, as a major sport thrives off of competition and being superior at it. To ensure
superiority,players are willing to go to drastic measures such as using steroids. Steroids in
baseball started in the 1980’s and have become a problem over time Some baseball players have
come to the conclusion that it will boost their performance level and give them an edge over the
competition. Athletes use the steroids’ anabolic effect to help the body retain dietary protein,
which aids in the development of muscles, and increase muscle mass (anabolic steroids).
Although, it may give a competitive edge over time, the side effects of overuse and misuse are
long lasting. . Anabolic steroids are synthetic drugs that mimic the naturally occurring hormones
in the human body, such as, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. Testosterone’s anabolic effect
helps the body retain dietary protein, which aids in the development of muscles (anabolic
steroids).These hormones play a key role in human growth and development. The synthetic
version of these hormones (steroids) were discovered in the 1930’s and have been used to treat
growth issues in children, chronic wasting conditions (i.e. Cancer, AIDS), and improper use of
the synthetic steroid, increases the amount of steroids in the body, unnaturally doubling the
hormone. With the body already producing anabolic testosterone, the Anabolic steroids that are
taken in by baseball players are unnaturally doubling the hormone. This may lead to unhealthy
effects on the athlete’s body. As Dr. Wadler says, “Some are visible to the naked eye and some
are internal, others are psychical. With unsupervised steroid use, the effects can be irreversible or
2. Hubbard2
undetected until it is too late” (Anabolic Steroids). Anabolic steroids can be taken in two ways. It
can be taken orally or be injected. The injections are broken down into different categories, those
that are very long-lasting and those that do not last as long. Recent studies show that use has
shifted to the shorter-lasting, water-soluble injections (Anabolic Steroids).
The effects of steroid use can be irreversible or undetected until it is too late. The risks
players’ are taking by choosing to use steroids can cause serious health issues and can adversely
affect the athlete in a way not intended.Physical side effects include; reduced sperm count, the
development of breast, shrinking of the testicles, and difficulty or pain while urinating (Anabolic
Steroids). Long-time steroid users show the classic characteristics of addiction. The users come
to crave these steroids, which leads to steroid abuse. The behavioral effects of long-term steroid
users show the classic characteristics of addiction. Recent evidence suggests that long-time
steroid users and steroid abusers show the classic characteristics of addiction (anabolic steroids).
The users come to crave these steroids, which leads to abusing the product. Also, Behavioral
effects are shown to be severe moods swings (Anabolic Steroids). The users come to crave these
steroids, which leads to steroid abuse. They can experience severe moods swings, depression,
high irritability (also known as “roid” rage) followed by feelings of being invincible to their
surroundings. These mood swings are can be dangerous for the users of steroids as well as
individuals the individuals that are around them when the mood swings occur. Athletes continue
to seek out these performance enhancing drugs, even though they are illegal and have many
negative effects, athletes continue to use steroids as a means to achieve the edge over the
competition.
Anabolic steroids are an easy but dangerous fix to issues that can be fixed in a more
healthy way, and may even lead to long term benefits. There is a substance called
3. Hubbard3
Creatine.Creatine is a safer substance used by athletes to gain a competitive edge.Creatine
supplements are popular with body builders and competitive athletes like Baseball players
(Creatine). It is thought to help muscle build in a more healthy way rather than using steroids.
Therefore, it is not 100 percent proven that creatine helps in user’s performance but, studies has
shown that if it does work, that it usually helps people under the age of 20 with short exercises
like weight lifting. Studies show that exercises that involve endurance, creatine does not seem to
help performance levels yet, again, it is not 100 percent (creatine). Creatine is an amino acid that
is usually found in food such as meat or fish. It is also a naturally occurring substance, made in
the liver, kidneys and pancreas, whichhelp supply energy to cells, primarily muscles. They are
amino acids that have the ability to increase muscles stores, and potentially give muscles the
ability to re-synthesize these amino acids to meet increased energy demands. Although, this
substancehas not been shown to improve performance, it has similar results to anabolic steroids.
In clinical studies of people with heart failure or heart disease that took creatine with additional
medical care, were able to increase the amount of exercise they could do before using creatine.
With the addition of medications, creatine helps to increasebody weight and muscle strength.
Muscular Dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease patients have been positively affected with the
availability of creatine. Many player’shave chosencreatine as a better option than
steroids.Creatine used together with a high protein diet can produce the same results, without the
harmful side effects of steroids. Creatine does come with effects but, not all are bad. It has shown
to help people with disease. In clinical studies of people with heart failure or Heart Disease that
took Creatine with the additional medical care, were able to increase the amount of exercise they
could do before coming in with heart issues (Creatine). With the addition of usual medications,
the creatine helps the increasing of body weight and muscle strength. To add, people who have
4. Hubbard4
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and took Creatine have increased in muscle
mass, muscle strength, and endurance (Creatine). Users improved their overall health status by
using this. Also, Muscular Dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease have been positively affected with
the availability of Creatine. Individuals who have Muscular Dystrophy may lack Creatine in their
muscle cells. This results in muscle weakness but, with creatine it shows a small improvement in
the person’s muscle strength (Creatine). In Parkinson’s Disease Creatine has shown to help with
exercise ability and endurance. Although, the precautions of Creatine are weight gain, muscle
cramps, dizziness, liver dysfunction and kidney damage.
An even healthier way to enhance performance is using the Glycemic Index (GI) along
with their training schedule. The glycemic index is a measure of the effects of carbohydrates on
blood sugar levels and how high and how fast the blood glucose level rises and how quickly the
body responds by returning the blood glucose level to normal. Foods that break down quickly
during digestion and release glucose rapidly into the bloodstream have a high GI. Conversely,
foods that breakdown more slowly, releasing glucose gradually have a low GI. Using the
glycemic index is an effective tool to use as you train because it aids in the collection of acids
and sugar in muscles so the athlete has more playing time with less pain, more endurance, which
ultimately leads to better performance.There are a few simple rules to using the glycemic index.
First, research suggests consuming low glycemic (i.e. Yogurt, Most Fruits, and Beans) foods
before training. Scientists and coaches believe that eating low Glycemic meals before a high
endurance game helps fill your muscles with sugar (Glycemic index). The slow release of
glucose into the blood stream, allows blood glucose levels to remain stable and it gives the body
time to collect the sugar in the muscles for when it is time to play or train. During training,
consuming foods and liquids with a medium glycemic index (Gatorade, Sweet Potato, and
5. Hubbard5
Whole Grain Bread) will promote carbohydrate usage and therefore help the athlete maintain
blood glucose levels and maintain their energy during games and training. After training, foods
and drinks with a high glycemic index (Cereal, Rice, and Pasta) should be consumed in order to
promote rapid glycogen repletion and rapid recovery.By utilizing the glycemic index, as a
method to enhance performance, athletes can safely and effectively increase endurance to give
themselves the edge they need. “It is lifestyle change, and the athlete must be conscious of the
foods they are consuming and when they consume them.This option is not as easy as the other
two, but could have long term healthy effects for most individuals. Using glycemic index over
many years has shown to significantly lower the risk to develop type 2 diabetes, coronary heart
disease, and macular degeneration (vision loss). It is also used to help individuals with diabetes
regulate insulin levels, and many weight loss programs. As the competitiveness of sports rises, it
is most important to ensure that coaches and others make sure to find ways for athletes to gain
experience and performance with ways that keep the player’s health in line. The GI is effective,
as well as healthier than other options athletes and players may use to try and boost their
performance levels. It might not have the drastic effect like other products, like steroids, but over
all, it does work.
In conclusion, there are many options players have to boost up their performance,
strength and endurance, but all come with different effects and outcomes that may negatively
affect health. Anabolic steroids are very unhealthy for the user’s body and have overwhelming
side effects that take place from them. They are dangerous and risky, but athletes become willing
to do anything for that certain boost for the game even though it is not smart option. creatine
helps give the boost players look for in a healthier form rather than taking anabolic steroids. It is
also good for some types of diseases. Creatine, with the addition of normal medication for the
6. Hubbard6
disease, helps with health and muscle strength the body might lose during these certain illnesses
and over time help the person get cured increasingly well. Unfortunately, creatine does have a
few precautions to its abilities that should not be overlooked. Overall, using theglycemic index
thehealthiest option. The goal of the GI is to get natural sugars to go in the muscles over the
course of a few meals and give that certain boost that most players strive for. It also, helps
players be able to play longer without having the pain that would usually occur with the time
played. Glycemic Index is the most natural way to. Overall, each option has its pro and cons.
Every athlete should take responsibility and research what option would be best fit the goal that
is to be accomplished. Going with the quick fix, may have a devastating impact on your future.
