Daley and Kendall also pointed out significant differences between rumours and epidemics. In both, there are subpopulations of susceptibles, infectives, and immunes, and the epidemic or rumour spreads with the interaction of susceptibles and infectives, but the mechanisms governing the removal of infectives are quite-different. In epidemics, infectives die or are 'isolated to join the immune subpopulation at a rate proportional to their own numbers. With rumours, there

## Abstract The number of compounds and doping methods in sports is in a state of constant flux. In addition to β€˜traditional’ doping agents, such as anabolic androgenic steroids or erythropoietin, new therapeutics and emerging drugs have considerable potential for misuse in elite sport.
