The issues surrounding doping in all sports are complex and are (in my experience) often misunderstood by those participating at a grass-roots level. Archery is no exception. One might imaging that archers would not benefit from doping, as it is not a particular benefit in our sport to have a large muscle mass or extreme stamina. There are, however, a number of prohibited agents that have been used to improve performance in archery and FITA is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code.
