UK Anti-Doping's Science and Medicine team works towards the development of anti-doping programmes

UK Anti-Doping coordinates both social and scientific projects aimed at improving the delivery of anti-doping programmes to athletes and sports.

Science and medicine programmes ensure that UK Anti-Doping is best placed to assess the threat of doping. This is achieved by identifying changes and trends in doping activity and ensuring that we can adapt strategies to deal with them.

Work undertaken in this area includes the introduction of a blood profiling programme which helps to detect changes in the body which may be caused by the use of performance-enhancing drugs or methods.
