Description
Philip Hurst and co-authors ask whether legal sport supplements pave the road to doping. Almost all athletes in their survey used some supplement. Doping, by contrast, was rare. The team polled hundreds of athletes on supplement use, beliefs, and doping acts and urges.
Athletes who used more supplements also reported more doping. The link ran both directly and through beliefs. Athletes who trusted supplements to lift performance felt a stronger pull toward doping, and acted on it more. The authors warn that supplement culture, and the faith it breeds, forms a risk path coaches should watch.
