Summary: This study investigates doping prevalence differences between world areas and sport groups, and finds associations with the socioeconomic characteristics of each country. Africa, Asia, and America have significantly lower doping prevalence rates than Europe and Oceania. Strong to moderate correlations are identified between corruption index and doping rule violations, as well as between human development index and doping rule violations.

Summary: Sports nutrition supplements may contain undeclared doping substances, posing risks to both general health and unintentional doping violations in elite sports. A study analyzing high-risk sports nutrition supplements from Dutch web shops found that 38% of the products contained doping substances, including stimulants and anabolic steroids. Additionally, potential variability in analyte concentration within the supplements could lead to significant risks of unintentional doping violations.

Summary: The effectiveness of a national anti-doping education program was examined by measuring changes in athletes' doping susceptibility, intention to use dietary supplements, Spirit of Sport and moral values, anti-doping knowledge and practice, and whistleblowing. The results showed that athletes reported decreased doping susceptibility and intention to use dietary supplements, coupled with increased importance of values, anti-doping knowledge, anti-doping practice, and whistleblowing after attending the program. Moderated mediation analyses further revealed the indirect relationship between changes in doping susceptibility and dietary supplement use, moderated by moral values.

Summary: Doping in sports refers to violating anti-doping guidelines issued by WADA, which may involve the use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs or other unlawful practices. Doping not only has major adverse health impacts, but also tarnishes the spirit and worth of sports. The issue of doping in sports has gained significant attention, leading to the development of various analytical techniques and guidelines. This review aims to critically assess the advancements in anti-doping analytical approaches and provide a broader perspective on prohibited drugs according to WADA's guidelines.

Summary: Anti-doping organisations aim to detect, deter and prevent doping in sport. However, direct detection of prohibited substances from athletes' biological samples has been criticized for its lack of efficiency. This study evaluates 17 years of doping test statistics and violations, revealing that most violations were committed by male athletes in ball and team or strength sports at national or recreational levels. Target testing capability and an intelligence-led approach in planning doping tests are recommended to improve anti-doping efforts.

Summary: This study explored the meaning and importance of 'clean sport' and 'clean athlete identity' through collaboration with elite athletes and NADOs. The results showed that clean athlete identity is rooted in upbringing, early experiences, and love of sport, characterized by intrinsic commitment to fundamental values and morals acquired in childhood. In contrast, the concept of clean performance-enhancement is highly idiosyncratic and flexible.

Summary: Chlorphenesin, a legitimate preservative in cosmetics, shares the same urinary metabolite with meclofenoxate, a prohibited stimulant in sports. After analyzing the 61 selected personal care products with various functions, we confirmed the absence of undeclared chlorphenesin, and the concentrations of chlorphenesin were all below the 3 mg/g (0.3%) set by regulatory authorities.
