doping in gymnastics

Doping in gymnastics refers to athletes using banned substances or methods to enhance performance, recovery, or endurance beyond natural limits. These substances can include steroids, stimulants, or hormone treatments, which may improve strength, reduce fatigue, or hasten healing. Doping poses ethical concerns, as it creates an unfair advantage and can jeopardize health. Regulatory agencies like the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) conduct drug testing to detect and prevent doping, aiming to maintain fairness and athlete safety in the sport.
