Australia: Organized Crime Playing Major Role In Doping

17:51, February 19, 2013

The Australian Crime Commission (ACC) has unveiled a report titled "Organized Crime And Drugs in Sport". The report is looks at the use of Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) in multiple sports. 

PIEDs include a large category of drugs including certain peptides and hormones. PIEDs help the body heal more quickly, develop muscle more rapidly, and shed fat more effectively. However, there are various known side effects depending on the drug used, which can include serious damage to the liver or reproductive system. Despite these risks, demand for the drugs — especially in the ultra-competitive world of professional sports — remains high.
