DOPING HISTORY
No one knows for sure where the word doping comes from , some associate it with an old English word " dope" , which was like a paste or grease , but today the term is used as a generic drug. The Encyclopedia Britannica attributes to the flamenco voice " doop " used to determine a mixture. It also says that comes from the South African term " Dope " which was an alcoholic beverage that was used to perform a ceremonial dances correctly.
The use of substances or other means to enhance the performance is as old as competitive sport. For example, it is known that athletes participating among IV to VIII century. Olympics Games in ancient Greece used special diets and stimulating potions to fortify athletes. These Greek athletes had such important economic gains (equivalent to half a million current euros) that some of them sought illegal means to win at all costs. By the late nineteenth century is known that some cyclists often used strychnine, caffeine and alcohol. In 1928, the IAAF was the first agency to ban the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Most international sports federations introduced doping controls in the 1970s. However, these controls were ineffective because they did not detect the presence of anabolic steroids that were being used by many athletes from the 60s.
