Doping in sports undermines the valuable lessons that sports can teach and is considered cheating. Doping refers to using performance-enhancing drugs and can have serious negative health effects. While some athletes dope to gain competitive advantages, it often leads to health issues like heart disease, mood disorders, and some cancers. The effects of doping can also differ between male and female athletes. To curb doping, many professional sports leagues have implemented drug testing programs.

"Sports can teach children to young adults so many
valuable lessons: the value of hard work, teamwork,
dealing with focus, consistency and on and on. To have
this undermined by doping among those athletes we
most admire alone makes doping unacceptable. It is
cheating, pure and simple, and that is wrong." (Orlando
Sentinel)
