"Controlling the Use of Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports: How to Maintain Competitive Balance without Destroying Due Process"

The panel will address the contemporary issues and challenges facing sport leagues and governing bodies in testing athletes for the use of performance enhancing drugs.  Topics for discussion include testing for human growth hormone, what qualifies as a PED, proper sanctions imposed on athletes who test positive, the impact of PEDs on a level playing field, protecting the athlete's interest as well as the amorphous topic of due process, and where the future is headed.
