About This Trend
Doping refers to the use of banned substances or methods to enhance athletic performance in competitive sports, involving athletes, coaches, and organizations.
The trend is currently prominent due to several high-profile cases, including Paul Pogba joining AS Monaco after serving a doping ban, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) dropping cases against U.S. officials, and recent sanctions against Michael and Seth Vowell in track and field. Additionally, updates to WADA's Laboratory Guidelines and Gabriel Barbosa's cleared doping appeal have kept the issue in the spotlight.
