Abstract
In recent years, antidoping strategies underwent a significant development,
from purely biochemical analyses and the detection of substances in urine
samples to a biological approach, using blood samples, longitudinal
monitoring, and probabilistic techniques. Nowadays, the appropriate timing
of testing and the targeting of the athletes to be tested with antidoping
tests is a major issue. A new strategy to improve the targeting of
suspicious athletes might be the longitudinal monitoring of individual
performances. By these means, suspect athletes might be identified, as
doping will not only alter their blood or steroid profiles, but ultimately
boost their performance, as well. Through the proposed approach, the
effectiveness in the fight against doping might be improved considerably. |
