Risk equals reward
“The approaches we are using are way out there to what is currently being done in doping control,” says Harynuk. “There’s a lot of risk, but at the same time, the potential reward is huge. If these tools work the way we are planning, doping agencies will be ahead of the dopers for the first time, predicting and anticipating a drug before it becomes widely used. For the first time, they'll be ahead of the game, ahead of the athletes looking to circumvent the rules of fair play."

Harynuk and West were the only Canadian researchers in the recent funding announcement by the Partnership for Clean Competition (PCC). PCC receives its funding primarily from American professional sports leagues such as the NFL and Major League Baseball. It also receives funding from the PGA Tour and the NHL, the U.S. Olympic Committee, and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The funding, two years with the possibility of an additional year, starts in September and will allow the researchers to hire post-doctoral fellows to strengthen their lab teams.

“The fun part will be when this technology is used for future Olympics,” says West. “In theory, this technology could be used for Tokyo in 2020.”
