From Wikipedia: “In a 1987 study by the International Conference of Symphony and Opera Musicians, it was shown that 27% of interviewed members admitted to using beta blockers such as propranolol for musical performances.[70] For about 10–16% of performers, their degree of stage fright is considered pathological.[70][71] Propranolol is used by musicians, actors, and public speakers for its ability to treat anxiety symptoms activated by the sympathetic nervous system.[72] It has also been used as a performance-enhancing drug in sports where high accuracy is required, including archery, shooting, golf[73] and snooker.[73] In the 2008 Summer Olympics, 50-metre pistol silver medalist and 10-metre air pistol bronze medalist Kim Jong-su tested positive for propranolol and was stripped of his medals.[74]”
