doping control test

A doping control test is a process used to ensure athletes compete fairly without using illegal substances that enhance performance. After a competition, athletes provide a urine or blood sample, which is analyzed in a lab for banned substances or methods that could give an unfair advantage. The testing helps maintain integrity in sports, promoting safe and clean competition. Results are used to detect doping violations, leading to sanctions if illegal substances are found. The process is governed by strict protocols to ensure fairness, privacy, and accuracy for all athletes involved.
