The use of substances or forbidden methods to improve the performance has become more frequent in sports. This research objective is to characterize the results of drug test accomplished in Brazil in the year of 2008. The data were obtained in the Laboratory of Drug Test of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Brazilian Olympic Committee, both recognized by the International Olympic Committee as well as by WADA. Four thousand six hundred twenty-one exams were accomplished in the year of 2008. The soccer was the modality that presented more cases of doping. The scientific progresses allow more sophisticated methods to control the use of drugs in sports.
