Forensic science now analyzes doping agents in hair, saliva, and sweat, offering easier collection. This review compares these novel methods with traditional urine and blood testing for drug detection.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Traditional forensic analysis for drugs and doping agents primarily uses urine and blood samples.
  • Advances in analytical techniques now permit the detection of substances in alternative biological matrices.
  • Easily collected samples like hair, saliva, and sweat are gaining traction in forensic toxicology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent studies on the detection of doping agents in unconventional biological samples.
  • To compare the analysis of drugs in hair, saliva, and sweat with traditional methods using urine and blood.
  • To discuss sampling, analytical procedures, and result interpretation for these diverse matrices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent scientific literature focusing on doping agent detection.

  • Comparative analysis of analytical techniques applied to urine, blood, hair, saliva, and sweat.
  • Examination of methodologies for sample collection, preparation, and instrumental analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Hair, saliva, and sweat analysis offer alternative matrices for detecting doping agents.
    • Drug concentrations in these alternative samples are often lower than in urine or blood.
    • Recent studies demonstrate the feasibility and application of these novel matrices in doping control.

    Conclusions:

    • Hair, saliva, and sweat represent viable, easily collected alternatives for drug and doping agent detection.
    • Further research and standardization are needed to optimize interpretation of results from these matrices.
    • The expansion of sample types enhances the capabilities of forensic science in combating doping.
