Performance enhancing drugs for gamers?

Nancy Owano reports for PHYS.ORG, "Doping has become an issue in electronic sports. This time around it isn't to build physical powers but to prop up mental abilities."

"The growing visibility and popularity of esports, as well as increasing prize pools make it not only more tempting for teams and players to break the rules, but also more damaging to our sport as a whole when they do."

...What ESL gamers can expect: Updates on changes to tournament rules. These will include a list of banned substances, methods of testing and potential disciplinary actions for players caught using PEDs and/or admitting to having used them.
