Abstract

Chemical applications in the world of sports are diverse and of paramount importance for athletes to perform well. However, some of these athletes decide to use prohibited substances in order to obtain advantages against their opponents. A good case to exemplify what has been said here is that of the Russian athletics federation, which was banned from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics due to the doping scandal.
