Reference Materials for Sports Drugs and Steroid Testing

Toxicological analysis for sports related drugs and steroids is performed to detect the presence and concentration of performance-enhancing drugs, which are used illicitly in athletic or sporting competitions, and for physical enhancement.

Such analysis involves screening biological samples to detect anabolic steroids, peptides, stimulants and beta-blockers, amongst others. It therefore plays a vital role in sports doping controls that attempt to ensure fair play in sports, as well as highlighting potential health risks associated with their misuse.
