As a result, the testing labs must alsopush to stay one step ahead of the cheats.Donald Berry, a biostatistician, summarizes what he sees as problems with the way doping tests are conducted.45 The ability of an anti-doping test to detect a banned substance in an athlete is calibrated in part by testing a small number ofvolunteers taking the substance in question. But Berry says that individual labs need to verify these detection limits in largergroups that include known dopers and non-dopers under blinded conditions that mimic what happens during competition.46 Only by publishing and opening to broader scientific scrutiny the methods by which testing labs engage in studymay the anti-doping authorities avoid a sporting culture of suspicion, secrecy, and fear.
