    Background:

    • Athletes, particularly adolescents, may consider using ergogenic aids for performance enhancement.
    • The use of these substances raises ethical concerns regarding fair play and sportsmanship.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the importance of physician-led discussions on the topic.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the efficacy and safety of common ergogenic aids.
    • Discussion of ethical implications and fair play principles.

    Main Results:

    • Many alleged ergogenic aids have little to no proven performance-enhancing capacity.
    • The health risks associated with these substances significantly outweigh any perceived benefits.

    Conclusions:

    • Physicians should routinely address the use of ergogenic aids with adolescent athletes during examinations.
    • Open discussion of risks and alleged benefits is crucial for informed decision-making and promoting ethical sports participation.
