  • Title: Use of performance-enhancing substances.
    Author: Gomez J, American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Sports Medicine and Fitness.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 2005 Apr; 115(4):1103-6. PubMed ID: 15805399.
    Abstract:
    Performance-enhancing substances include dietary supplements, prescription medications, and illicit drugs. Virtually no data are available on the efficacy and safety in children and adolescents of widely used performance-enhancing substances. This statement is intended to provide a generalized but functional definition of performance-enhancing substances. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly condemns the use of performance-enhancing substances and vigorously endorses efforts to eliminate their use among children and adolescents.
