  Hi @frasero,
  
  do you mean side effects to drugs often used as performance enhancers?
  
  Stimulants such as amphetamine can cause mental health issues, steroids are particularly dangerous and are often responsible for kidney failure. There are lots of health implications for athletes that dope.
