Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Clenbuterol

To explain: Clenbuterol, also called “clen,” is considered a performance-enhancing drug and is banned in most athletic competitions. Because of this, some athletes who test positive for clenbuterol often claim they must have eaten contaminated meat, thus this drug is banned.
