dc.description.abstractThere is a general impression that doping in sport is just a recent phenomenon. This is far from the truth as "even as early as the third century B.C., athletes in the Olympic games tried to improve their performance by eating mushrooms ... " (Hanley 1979). During the last century, such drugs as cocaine, strychnine, caffeine and heroin were abused of by athletes in various sports.
