The integration of esports into the Olympic movement has prompted a critical examination regarding the prevalence of performance-enhancing substances in professional gaming. Drawing parallels to historical doping scandals in traditional sports, such as the case of Lance Armstrong, industry observers are questioning whether competitive gaming is susceptible to similar integrity challenges as it seeks formal recognition on the global stage.

This discourse highlights the growing professionalization of the sector, which now involves high-profile figures such as Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos. As the industry aligns itself with the standards of traditional athletic competitions, the necessity for robust anti-doping protocols and regulatory oversight has become a central point of discussion for stakeholders and organizers.
