    • نبذة مختصرة :
      Athletes’ use of particular substances to improve their physical performance dates back to ancient Greece. Competitors in the ancient Olympics took stimulants such as strychnine and extracts from coca plants, cacti, and fungi to improve their performance. Although the beneficial effects of these substances are questionable, many believe that their widespread use was one of the elements that led to the termination of the Olympic Games and other sporting competitions in about 400 CE.
