Sport integrity challenges (anti-doping, technological fairness, transgender/intersex athlete integration) during COVID-19
E
Exposure / Comparator
COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and technological advancements

The COVID-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to leverage new technologies, such as omics, big data, and AI, to enhance sports integrity and anti-doping procedures.

Limitations

  • The true prevalence of doping in sport is unknown but substantially higher than the cases detected.
  • Current anti-doping systems remain broadly inefficient and ineffective due to limitations in detection windows, test sensitivity, and test predictability.
  • Lack of longitudinal research studies on trained transgender and DSD athletes to inform fair classification.

Cite This Study

Lima et al. (2021) conducted a review in Sport integrity challenges (anti-doping, technological fairness, transgender/intersex athlete integration) during COVID-19. COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and technological advancements was evaluated. The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated sport integrity challenges, highlighting the need to leverage technological innovations such as 'omics' technology and remote testing to modernize anti-doping.
