Next Generation Performancing Enhancing Drugs for Bodybuilders

Wired Magazine identifies promising medical and pharmaceutical candidates that may represent the next generation of performance enhancement for Olympic athletes. As with any performance enhancing drug, bodybuilders are always the first guinea pigs to experiment with these drugs in the real world. After they receive the seal of approval from the bodybuilding community, the new drugs are ready for athletes in other professional sports where procedures are refined to avoid detection by anti-doping agencies. Here is a list of Wired’s top ten list they feel will represent the future of doping that almost make anabolic steroids obsolete (”Cheats of Strength: 10 Next-Gen Olympic Doping Methods,” August 15).

  1. myostatin-inhibitor gene;
  2. hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stabilizers;
  3. vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF);
  4. beta-endorphin gene;
  5. insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1);
  6. selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs);
  7. synthetic blood substitutes e.g. Oxycyte;
  8. EPO-stimulating agents;
  9. muscle-fiber gene GW1516;
  10. mustard oil to increase EPO

    The only real problem with 'performance enhancers' is that we don't know the long-term consequences. As an example, will inhibiting myostatin in a person's teens and twenties result in muscular dystrophy in their forties and fifties, because of the Hayflick limit? Is it worth an Olympic gold medal at 24 to wind up in a wheelchair at 42?
