Athletics: Modafinil is drug of choice

Athletics: Modafinil is drug of choice, says IAAF chief
By Mike Rowbottom

Modafinil, the drug which the world 100 metres champion, Kelli White, claims she took for a sleep disorder, has become the "fashionable" stimulant of choice among certain American athletes, the sport's top anti-doping official said yesterday.

"It's a little odd to find an epidemic of narcolepsy in top athletes," Arne Ljungqvist, the head of the International Association of Athletics Federations' medical commission, said. "The disorder of narcolepsy is not that frequent."

Ljungqvist was speaking after the American 400m runner Calvin Harrison became the latest athlete identified as having tested positive for the substance, although Harrison's comments about his case appeared to make it clear that the stimulant had not been recommended to him for any other reason than to keep him, in his own words, "up".

The Olympic and world gold medallist, who has trained with Dwain Chambers in the group supervised by the Ukrainian coach, Remy Korchemny, confirmed he had tested positive for modafinil at this summer's American Championships.

"I did have modafinil in my system," Harrison said. He added that he was given the substance by a coach in California, stressing that he had never been given an illegal substance by his current coach, Trevor Graham.

"He [the coach in California] had given me this pill and I had taken it. He told me it was not a steroid and that it would just keep you 'up' so you wouldn't be so fatigued," Harrison said. "He emphasised that it was not on the banned substance list and assured me that it was not an illegal substance."

Ljungqvist said a spate of positive tests for modafinil suggests the substance is part of a pattern of doping abuse in the United States along with the designer steroid THG.

Chambers, who tested positive for THG at an out-of-competition sampling on 1 August, will find out within the next fortnight whether his test is confirmed through an analysis of the B sample.

Three other US athletes have now been named as testing positive for THG but await B sample test results: Kevin Toth, the world's leading shot putter this year; Regina Jacobs, the 39-year-old who broke the world indoor 1500m record this year before beating Kelly Holmes to gold at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham; and the hammer thrower John McEwen. Two other US athletes who have tested positive for THG have yet to be named.

Ljungqvist said the IAAF had been "directly or indirectly" informed of between six and eight modafinil cases.

[u][b]Calibration of an assay to determine the amount of active Alcohol Dehydrogenase enzyme present in a sample[/b][/u]

This project’s purpose was to calibrate an assay used to determine the amount of Alcohol Dehydrogenase enzyme found in an sample from the field. This procedure would be required to know the constitutive levels of the enzyme present in the entity sampled.
There is an ongoing research project studying the level of ethanol production In Douglas fir trees. Part of this study examines alcohol dehydrogenase , the final enzyme in the anaerobic fermentation pathway responsible for ethanol production. The ability to determine constitutive levels of this enzyme would help elucidate its role in the induction of the fermentative pathway.
The process of fermentation in a Douglas fir tree is of interest because of its suspected role in the attraction of the bark beetle trypodendron lineatum . These beetles bore through a tree’s bark and damage the underlying wood below. The control of this damaging process would limit the financial loss suffered by lumber companies. Ethanol production can be instigated by hypoxic or anoxic conditions sometimes occurring with increased rainfall and the flooding of the tree’s roots. Logs meant for commercial harvest are also particularly vulnerable when left to sit in the field for extended periods. When logs are detached from there roots and lye in a position of greater contact with the ground they suffer from decreased respiration. If a tree begins the process of fermentation, it attracts beetles whose damage causes an amplification of the process. Trees in the vicinity of a major beetle infestation are also more likely to become damaged.
By understanding the control mechanisms operating in this fermentation pathway various means could become available to the forester wishing to stop the subsequent attraction of bark beetles. For example if it is shown that the amount of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme found constitutively in the wood varies from tree to tree and is indicative of the subsequent induction of the fermentation process it might be possible to breed future trees that would be less likely to undergo fermentation.
