Current Issue:
The world of sports has constantly demonstrated the tests of human strength, endurance and attaining personal goals.
Anabolic steroid and drug use in sports, however, has long created controversy and has also destroyed the careers of well known athletes like track star Marion Jones, who tested positive last year for the performance enhancing drug erythropoietin, or EPO.
