AB Interest  in  extraordinary  athletic  achievement  fuels  the  modern  day  science  of  performance  enhancement  in  sports.  The  desire  to  improve  athletic  performance  in  a  scientific  manner  is  a  relatively  recent  development.  At  one  time,  the  focus  on  maximizing  human  physical  and  mental  potential  centered  on  the  importance  of  manual  work  and  military  service.  The  role  of  sport  was  inconsequential,  except  for  its  potential  in  improving  ­military  preparedness.92  Today,  “sports  doping”  refers  to  the  use  of  a  prohibited  xenobiotic  to  enhance  athletic  performance.  The  word  doping  comes  from  the  Dutch  word  doop,  a  viscous  opium  juice  used  by  the  ancient  Greeks.28
