Application of chromatography–mass spectrometry methods to the control of sport nutrition and medicines marketed via internet

Abstract

Several sport nutrition products and doping drugs sold in the period from 2014 to 2016 were studied using gas and liquid chromatography coupled with mass-spectrometry. In the study, WADA-banned substances were detected in the composition of pre-workout supplements, fat burners, and prohormones. A series of selective androgen receptor modulators and peptide doping drugs were also studied. It was shown that, in some cases, preparations can be adulterated.
