title: Elephant in the room? The methodological implications for public health research of performance-enhancing drugs derived from the illicit market.
abstract: 'All scientific work is incomplete-whether it be observational or experimental. All scientific work is liable to be upset or modified by advancing knowledge. That does not confer upon us a freedom to ignore the knowledge we already have, or to postpone the action that it appears to demand at a given time.'
