title: Athletic drug testing: an analyst's view of science and the law.
abstract: Detection of performance-enhancing drugs in sports has received increasing visibility. Athletic drug testing uses sophisticated technology and both interindividual (population) and intraindividual reference ranges to interpret data. An effective program must incorporate educational and adjudication components in addition to testing. The difficult interface between science and the law is evident in many recent sports arbitration decisions.
