Detection of Diuretic Doping by Capillary Electrophoresis and Electrochemical Technology: A Mini-Review

Athletes are not allowed to use performance-enhancing drugs. Despite many efforts, the use of performance-enhancing drugs still persists in sports. Doping testing in athletes is the main way to determine drug consumption. Taking biological samples from athletes can be used to detect doping. The least invasive method is urine, while hair and saliva can be sampled using a minimally invasive procedure. In contrast, blood sampling is the most invasive method. The development of sample analysis and detection technology is crucial for any kind of sampling method. This review details the progress of electrophoresis and electrochemical detection of diuretics in stimulants.
