Anti-Doping Analytics in Cuba
Keywords:
Anti-doping Laboratory, analytical chemistry, history, mass spectrometryAbstract
Doping control analytics is already considered a highly integrative branch of science. In its development, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology have merged in a sublime way, all strictly amalgamated and controlled by a quality management system. The objective of the work was to describe the development of this science in Cuba and at the same time it is a tribute to its protagonists. A broad search was carried out on doping control activities in Cuba, interviews were carried out with persons involved in the activity and the archived documents of the Quality Management System of the Havana Anti-Doping Laboratory were reviewed. The present work describes the main antecedents and the evolution of the analysis of doping control in Cuba. It describes the evolution of the instruments and the personnel involved from 1973 to 2020, as well as the inter-center relations, research, and the accreditation process. It was divided into three main parts. The first describes the situation of doping analytics in the 1970s and 1980s; the second part describes the activities carried out in Cuba between 1973 and 1991 and the third part describes the creation and evolution of the Havana Antidoping Laboratory from 1999 to the present.Downloads
