The use of performance-enhancing drugs, though prohibited by all major sporting authorities, is still rife among professional and amateur athletes.

1. drugs, though prohibited by all major sporting authorities, is still rife among
2. drugs are prohibited in all major sporting authorities, yet are still rife among
3. drugs, prohibited by all major sporting authorities, are still rife between
4. drugs is prohibited by all major sporting authorities but are still rife between
5. drugs, though prohibited in all major sporting authorities, is still rife among


[spoiler]OA is A
but I think it should be between (instead of among) in A, [/spoiler]

Hi,

In my humble opinion, it should indeed be 'among' and not 'between' because it has the structure: 'among a group of people X and another group of people Y'. When the ones getting addressed are plural, 'between' is not the most suitable.

Moreoever, 'between' is more suitable when there is something between them, like 'a tennis match between Americans and Mexicans'. In the question's context, it is used to indicate a habit which is prevalent 'among' X and Y ... Hence, 'among'.

Hope this helps. Thanks.
