How does doping prevent injuries?

• patrickk 10y ago
  I'm no expert, but according to what I've read: "anabolic steroids - This category of steroids stimulates muscle growth and can allow athletes to train harder and recover more quickly." Obvious benefits over a long season. I've read elsewhere that certain PEDs can shave weeks off injury recovery times. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/sport/debate/types_1.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/sport/debate/types_1.shtml

  The majority use-case of doping is actually - contrary to layman's understanding - enhanced recovery. Uninjured, this allows more (quantity and frequency) training. It's not hard to imagine that enhanced recovery would prevent/speed recuperation from injuries.
