Popis: The solidity of scientific foundations underlying anti-doping programs is a key aspect of the effectiveness of the World Anti-doping Code. Taking as a starting point recent cases involving human Growth Hormone before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, this article provides insight into the growing complexity of anti-doping analytical science and the challenges arising there from for building a coherent legal framework, as well as the manner in which CAS panels deal with expert evidence in doping disputes, including the Athlete’s position in this respect.
