“…Studies placed in SRP employed four different methods for determining prevalence, which were Direct Survey (DS) , Random Response Technique (RT) [102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110], Qualitative Interviews (QI) [111], and Network Scale Up (NS) [55]. Studies placed in SAP employed four different methods for determining prevalence, which were Testing Figures (TF) [112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121], Blood Profile (BP) [122][123][124], Anti-Doping Rule Violations (AD) [125][126][127], and Hair Sample (HS) [79]. One study [79] was found to use a method assigned to SRP and to SAP, thus it was included in both with its two assessment scores included independently in Electronic Supplementary Material Appendix S4.…”

“…The law established a particular Committee, "Committee for the Monitoring and Control of Doping and the Protection of Health in Sporting Activities", with the main aim of identifying the classes of prohibited substances and the competitions to be monitored, determining the conduct of anti-doping controls, promoting information campaigns for the protection of health in sporting activities and prevention of doping. Since 2003, every year the above mentioned Committee, elaborates and transmits a report containing detailed data on the spread of doping in Italy as well as activities to prevent and combat the phenomenon (Mazzeo et al 2016a).…”

“…When talking about improving performance, we generally talk about the doping (intentional use by the athletes of drugs or methods aimed at obtaining an improved sports performance beyond the limits possible only with training). There are many studies related to this subject, highlighting the potential health hazards caused by doping [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The use of dietary supplements among adolescents raises concerns because of differences between children and adults and the potential for the presence of additives or adulterants in dietary supplement products [ 16 , 25 , 26 ].…”
