anti-doping testing

Anti-doping testing is a process used in sports to ensure athletes compete fairly by detecting the use of prohibited substances or methods that can enhance performance. It involves collecting urine or blood samples, which are analyzed in labs for banned drugs or markers indicating doping. Tests are random and unannounced to prevent athletes from preparing or avoiding detection. The goal is to preserve fair competition and athletes' health by enforcing strict rules against performance-enhancing substances. Violations can result in disqualification, fines, or bans from competition.
