Anti-Dope Testing in Sport : The History and the Science / Larry D. Bowers. - (FASEB Journa l 26 (2012) 10 (October) : p. 3933-3936)
Brief history about developments in doping tests, starting from the 1900s till the XXX modern Olympic Games and de XIV Paralympic Games in London. Also how the Anti-Doping Agencies originate starting from concerns regarding the effects of anabolic steroids on athletes in the U.S. congressional hearings in 1988. Programs for testing where developed, but athletes altered their drug abuse behaviors to avoid detection. This resulted in more innovation for test methods and strategies and expanded the scientific disciplines. More collaboration in research enhances the rate of discovery of innovative approaches to solve doping problems.
There are numerous opportunities for members of the scientific community to assist in the fight against the use of performance-enhancing drugs and cheating.
