Does doping behavior develop over time, beginning with the use of supplements that athletes believe may impact performance?

A review of 44 studies on prohibited substances and adulterants in dietary supplements found that approximately 9-15% of the commercially available supplements tested were contaminated with prohibited substances and/or unapproved drugs (most commonly stimulants and anabolic agents).

Their findings highlight the magnitude of the contamination issue, the need for improved manufacturing and labeling practices, and the potential exposure risks for athletes and others who consume supplements.
