BRAZILIAN DOPING CONTROL
LABORATORY

ABOUT

LBCD is a large academic space with modern facilities and state-of-the-art equipment designed to train professionals of excellence. In addition to the various lines of research developed, LBCD performs analyses aimed at doping control, which is essential for promoting sports ethics and equal conditions among competitors. Responsible for doping control at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the 2007 Pan American Games and other events, it is the only laboratory in Brazil accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA-AMA).

Method development

Development of methods for detecting doping agents, with emphasis on mass spectrometry, chromatography and biological testing techniques.

Metabolism of xenobiotics

Search for better analytical targets, observing established metabolic patterns and using alternative models to the human one.

Doping Control

Conducts urine and blood tests on Brazilian and international athletes to detect prohibited substances and methods defined by the "Prohibited List" of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA-AMA).

Profile Study

Statistical evaluations of urinary and blood concentrations of hormones or biomarkers to establish decision limits for exogenous administrations.
