To frame the current advances in anti-doping sciences, an initial definition of doping is necessary while it may in all cases foster a lively debate. The 2021 World Anti-Doping Code defines doping in Article 1 as "one or more of the anti-doping rule violations set forth in Articles 2.1 to 2.11 of the Code" (WADA, 2019) with an extremely detailed "Prohibited List" covering the Use or Attempted Use of doping substances and methods and certain malicious practices (Pavot, 2020). More simplistically, antidoping provisions may be considered violated when an athlete uses or attempts to use a prohibited substance or method or when a prohibited substance is detected in an urine or blood sample. Much then relies on the technical ability of an antidoping laboratory to detect such method or substance within a strict scope of international standards and operating guidelines. In an ideal scenario, laboratories would define and disseminate standard testing procedures for all kind of existing and upcoming substances, with unequivocal criteria for the definition of positivity, and the procedures would have been previously validated in blinded randomized and controlled studies with athletic subjects from both sex. Moreover, the epitome of experiments would make the sanctioning process swift with undeniable definitions of substances, dose and timing of use, administration, and individual metabolic variations
