I know drugs like steroids dont actually increase your normal performance, they just increase your endurance temp. But just three drugs that are banned from the olympics would be really nice, quick answers would help to ^^ Thanks all...

Wikipedia has at interesting report on doping and the olympics:
Apparently one of the early egregious doping cases involved a runner given strychnine and brandy DURING a race. The only death that has ever occurred in the olympics involved an athlete who had amphetamines in his system. And there was a major scandal when a number of German female atheletes had been unknowingly been given anabolic steriods by their government for years.
Once rules were enacted, the first athlete to break them was 'doping' with alcohol. Stanozolol is also listed as a prohibit drug. In 2006, twelve athletes were found to have been doping their blood with... blood. They were suspended for five days due to excessive hemoglobin.

Beta-blockers - lower the heart rate - make you relax
Cortisone - masks pain
Steroids - help build muscles
Basically there are a large variety of available drugs, the use of them to relax the athlete in accuracy events (shooting or archery), to mask pain in any activity so that the athlete can carry on through an injury.
The big problem you have now is that your teacher has read this answer and the link I have given, and will make sure that you do not just cut and paste!

EPO - Eythropoetin...increases production of red blood cells...more red blood cells, more oxygen carrying capacity of blood...less muscle fatigue.
Testosterone....increases muscle mass
Caffeine....well yeah...I'm sure thats pretty obvious
