Abstract
Within the last two decades, the European Medicines Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration have approved several gene therapies. One category is oligonucleotide therapeutics, which allow for the regulation of the expression of target genes. Besides already approved therapeutics, there are several preclinical and clinical trials ongoing. The World Anti-Doping Agency prohibits the use of “nucleic acids or nucleic acid analogs that may alter genome sequences and/or alter gene expression by any mechanism” as a nonspecified method at all times. Hence, the administration of nucleic acids or analogs by athletes would cause an Anti-Doping Rule Violation. Herein, we discuss types of oligonucleotide therapeutics, their potential to be misused in sports, and considerations to sample preparation and mass spectrometric approaches with regard to antidoping analysis.
