Scientific Research program for Anti Doping in Sports

PCC supports scientific studies that are likely to generate methods or products that will contribute to and improve the anti-doping landscape. Research priorities include: 

• Developing methods of cost-effective testing to detect and deter the use of banned and illegal substances.
• Developing testing protocols to detect designer substances used for doping purposes.
• Improving existing analytical methods to detect particular drugs, ex. GH, IGF-1, EPO, hCG.
• Developing analytical methods to detect performance enhancing drugs not currently detectable.
• Longitudinal urinary excretion patterns, metabolism and dose-concentration.
• Critical reviews to support interpretation of laboratory data.
• Alternative specimens, (ex. oral fluid, dried blood/plasma spots) for testing.
