Abstract
Although attempts to enhance athletic performance are probably much older, the word “doping” was first mentioned in 1889 in an English dictionary. It described originally a mixed remedy containing opium, which was used to “dope” horses. In the current scenario, the misuse of drugs in human sports in an attempt to enhance performance is known as doping. Throughout history athletes have sought foods and potions to enhance physical performance. The current article discusses the chromatography-mass spectrometry in doping analysis.
