Although
2005 saw major league sports step up efforts to crack down on performance
enhancers like Anabolic Steroids, the cat is out of the bag, says
Dr. Mike Perko, chair of The University of Alabama’s health
science department.
Designer steroids and products sold as “dietary supplements” will
show up in larger numbers among world-class athletes, predicts
Perko, who authored the book, “Taking one for the team: The
new thinking on young athletes and dietary supplements.”
“Sports are a worldwide industry, and what we saw in America
is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Perko. “This
single area will probably transform amateur and professional sports,
as we know it. The first thing that will come to mind with every
new record set will be ‘was it clean?’”
