Sports Genomics and Sport Doping

Abstract

A topical issue is the need to identify new possibilities for doping, in order to protect the athlete's privacy. We consider it useful to explore the relationship between gene variants that predispose to sports performance and special sensitivity to certain doping substances. For this purpose, we conducted a study in the literature. Among the substances banned from athletes, there are some whose effect is amplified in carriers of gene variants that confer special sports skills anyway: meldomium (
