The World Anti-doping Authority (WADA) has banned over 192 performer-enhancing
methods and utilization of these drugs can ruin the career of an athlete.
Below mention drugs are illegal and when sports personalities caught while using these drugs
then they are immediate eliminated from the context (Kutuev, Bukalerova and Ulezko, 2018).
Even, it is also noticed in many competitions that if the sports personalities are caught with
the symptoms of these drugs then also management of the competition sent their athletes for
blood and urine test. Below is the list of drugs which are banned by WADA:
 Blood doping:

oxygen containers that directly goes in the blood stream of the person via nerves. As a
result, artificial levels of the red blood cells improve oxygen transparent and athletic
endurance. From the long-term perspective, it is extremely dangerous and it can even
make athletes weaken which causes them early retirement but from the immediate
short-term perspective, blood doping act like the immediate internal power supply
which enhances their stamina and blood functioning (Loland, 2018).
