:: These are not all performance enhancing drugs.  Some are banned because they lead to athletes injuring themselves, for example.  It could be called '''Drugs banned from international sporting competitions''', but that is unwieldy.  I created it for the Olympics themed write-a-thon, thus the name.  Perhaps '''Drugs banned by the World Anti-Doping agency''', but that name is really long also.  The current title is technically correct, but the same page could be a catalog under the [[World Anti-Doping Agency]] article as well??? I should make a redirect from '''Drugs banned at the Olympics too, I suppose.  I might search under that title. [[User:David E. Volk|David E. Volk]] 14:31, 27 June 2008 (CDT)

Should this be titled Performance enhancing drugs? It's not just the Olympics that bans them. Chris Day 12:51, 4 June 2008 (CDT)

These are not all performance enhancing drugs. Some are banned because they lead to athletes injuring themselves, for example. It could be called Drugs banned from international sporting competitions, but that is unwieldy. I created it for the Olympics themed write-a-thon, thus the name. Perhaps Drugs banned by the World Anti-Doping agency, but that name is really long also. The current title is technically correct, but the same page could be a catalog under the World Anti-Doping Agency article as well??? I should make a redirect from Drugs banned at the Olympics too, I suppose. I might search under that title. David E. Volk 14:31, 27 June 2008 (CDT)
