Abstract

Anabolic steroids form one of the important classes of doping agents and their consumption has been found to give benefits to the athletes. Inspite of the fact that they also produce adverse effects and damage several organs and systems, their consumption is continuously increasing in competitive games. The World Anti-Doping Agency and International Olympic Committee have banned the use of anabolic steroids and several other compounds. This article focuses an over view of various chromatographic techniques commonly used for detecting anabolic steroids and their metabolites during last 3 years in human biological fluids to establish the cases of doping. The possibility of electrochemistry- and microchip-based techniques have been considered as possible techniques for future to achieve simple and fast analysis at the site of competitive games as the first tool to detect the cases of doping.
