Abstract


SUMMARY. Gene doping is characterized by non-therapeutic use of cells, genes and genetic elements, or modulation of gene expression with the aim to increase sports performance. This can only be accomplished through gene manipulation. This practice dopant is characterized as virtually "undetectable", which represents new challenges for analytical detection. This review presents and possible gene doping detection methods to prevent future sports cheats.
