据国外报刊报道,体育运动中第一次发现有人采用刺激神经兴奋的方式是在1865年。那是发生在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹运河泅渡比赛中。 1879年,在一次持续6个小时的自行车比赛中,有运动员用咖啡、糖和酒精炊料来提高兴奋程度,以期增强竞争力。这是人们第一次确切地知道的运动中使用的“兴奋剂”。以上两个事例可称用兴奋剂的“先驱”,可惜当时没有更具体的报道。由于这两件事均发生在欧洲,有人认为可以把欧洲看作兴奋剂 According to foreign press reports, for the first time in sports, some people used excitement to stimulate nerves in 1865. It happened in the Netherlands at the Amsterdam Canal Ferry competition. In 1879, athletes used coffee, sugar and alcohol to raise their excitement during a six-hour bicycle race to enhance their competitiveness. This is the “stimulant” that people use for the first time in their sport. The above two examples can be said to be “pioneers” of stimulants, but unfortunately no more specific reports were made at the time. Since both of these events occurred in Europe, some people think that Europe can be regarded as a stimulant
