Drug screening is the process of recognizing illicit and some recommended drugs in the blood, urine, and other biological samples. A drug screening process is also referred as analysis and detection of performance-enhancing drugs consumed by professional athletes such as steroids and HGH in order to improve stamina and performance during the sport.
Some of the major illegal drugs include heroin, cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamines, methadone, and amphetamine.
