The timely update of the list of prohibited substances and methods of doping (as issued by the World Anti‐Doping Agency) is an essential aspect of international anti‐doping efforts and represents consensual agreement by expert panels regarding substances and the methods of performance manipulation in sports. The annual banned‐substance review for human doping controls critically summarizes recent innovations in analytical approaches; its purpose is to improve the quality of doping controls by reporting emerging and advancing methods that focus on detecting known and recently outlawed substances. This review surveys new and/or enhanced procedures and techniques of doping analysis together with information relevant to doping control that has been published in the literature between October 2009 and September 2010.
