ABSTRACT

It is beyond the remit of a book entitled Drugs in Sport to review, in detail, all supplements that might be used by athletes for the purpose of enhancing performance and maintaining health. Indeed many supplements that are pharmacological in nature are covered elsewhere in this book. Other, countless supplements that are available to the athlete and not prohibited in sport are reviewed extensively in other texts. The author directs interested readers to the reviews on nutritional supplements in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (Volumes 43 to 47) for further information relating to specific supplements.
