Bromantan, N-(2-adamantil)-N-(para-bromophenyl)-amine[1] is an immunostimulatory drug banned by the International Olympic Committee and other sports organizations. It was developed by the Soviet Union for the use by military troops and several athletes from the former Soviet Union were banned from the Olympics at the Atlanta Games after having tested positive for bromantan. The drug's first use in the Olympics occurred in the Seoul Games in 1988, but the drug was not banned until June 5, 1996.[2]
