A summary of the preparations and the operation of the Athens Doping Control Laboratory for the 2004 Olympic Games is presented. The preparations involved an upgrade of the laboratory infrastructure: staff, equipment, space, new analytical methodologies. The operation of the laboratory during the Games created a major number of events in agreement with the International Olympic Committee's commitment to doping‐free “clean” Games. This summary was created by the director of the Athens Doping Control Laboratory and reflected the author's outlook 15 years later.
