Literature search has been reviewed. In historical dimension, there are less women than men in performance sport as participation rate both in the world and in Turkey.

It has been concluded that certain socioeconomic conditions are determinants in the use of doping by athletes and that they shape their tendency towards doping. Therefore, it is thought that the trainers, managers, athlete families and athletes about the negative effects of doping use on athlete health is of great importance.
