This issue of Bioanalysis has the theme of antidoping analysis and was originally planned to be published to coincide with the run-up to the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. It was intended to give the interested reader an indication of the latest approaches used by the scientists working in the antidoping field that would likely be used during the Games in the Tokyo World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited antidoping laboratory. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all walks of life internationally and sport is no exception; hence the games have been postponed for a year until 2021 by the International Olympic Committee, for the first time ever. The ability, under WADA and International Olympic Committee regulations, to store samples for up to 10 years means that even if some of the approaches described in this issue are not yet ready for use to take action against a cheating athlete, retrospective analysis could enable this to occur at some time in the years ahead.
