Testing for drugs
• HPLC can be used to test for ‘performance enhancing’ drugs that may be used by athletes
What are we looking for?Aspirin• Some endurance athletes have been drugs such as aspirin before and during
competition in an attempt to compete at the highest intensity for the longest duration
• Aspirin is also taken to relieve symptoms of colds etc• Not on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned listCaffeine• Caffeine is also used athletes as a performance aid• The IOC presently lists caffeine as a banned substanceAmphetamine• These may mean an athlete feels less tied and can endure longer• All forms of amphetamines are banned by the IOCUrea• Naturally formed in the body
What is in the sample?Who has broken the rules?
• Identify what is present in each sample of blood taken from three different athletes.
• All samples were taken under the same conditions
Choose the sample to run
• Aspirin• Caffeine• amphetamine• Urea• Athlete A• Athlete B• Athlete C• Athlete A -overlay
