Dried blood spots via remote testing as a possible future application in the doping control process

Abstract

The use of DBS as biological matrix in combination with a novel technical remote testing app specifically developed for the doping control process shows that testing is becoming easier and variable through DBS. Supplemented by the remote testing solution, the system could significantly increase in the unpredictability of test dates and sample quantity.
