Exact statistical calculation of the uncertainty term in the decision limits of the GH-2000 score for growth hormone misuse (doping) detection

S3RI Members Wei Liu & Dankmar Böhning

A mixed team of researchers in sports medicine, endocrinology and lab science, also involving the S3RI members Wei Liu and Dankmar Böhning,  has published work on the construction of the decision limits for growth hormone misuse (doping) detection in competing athletes. The work contains statistical results which allow an exact calculation of the uncertainty involved in the decision limit construction. The work will become part of the guidelines for growth hormone misuse detection of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).  More details are available at:
