Doping
The use of banned substances or methods to enhance athletic performance, governed by the prohibited list and testing standards of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Over 80% of elite middle-distance track and field athletes take baking soda as a performance supplement. The IOC acknowledges its efficacy but cannot ban a substance detectable after simply eating cake. Recently, hydrogel capsules have solved its notorious side effect — diarrhea.
