Abstract

This discussion reviews the concept and history of ergogenic aides, the penetration of use in society, some benefit/risk information, drug sources in our society, detection and regulation of these agents, and provides a look to the future. It also examines the role of the clinician/endocrinologist for these patients and uses some cases as examples of drug use among adolescents/teens.
