doping violations

Doping violations occur when athletes use prohibited substances or methods to improve performance, such as steroids or blood doping. These substances can unfairly enhance strength, endurance, or recovery, giving some athletes an advantage over others. Sports organizations have strict guidelines and testing procedures to detect such doping. Violations harm the integrity of competition, pose health risks to athletes, and can lead to penalties like disqualification, bans, or stripping titles. Essentially, doping undermines fair play and the spirit of athletic achievement, which is why it is rigorously monitored and penalized.
