The other common occurrance of 'dopinggeduide' is in combination with 'middelen', and 'doping agents' is more common in English google hits than 'doping substances' (as in 'doping agents and methods), so I used 'agents' for the glossary entry.

Hello Tina - I find that weird, 'doping substances' appears several times, especially under the Phase II section.

Thanks Siobhan. NeCeDo is actually one of the partners in the Security System. But the word 'doping substances' does not appear on their English web page.

correction: 'proof' should read 'prove' (it's been a long day!)

Siobhan Schoonhoff-Reilly May 4, 2005:

I think you can safely use 'doping substances' Take a look at http://www.necedo.nl/nzvt (English pages), it should proof to be a useful site for your translation in general.

Sorry, I had just posted another question with lots of context and forgot to repeat it. A number of agencies (sport, anti-doping, and the branch organization of the nutritional supplement industry) have set up a "Security System for Nutritional Supplements in Elite Sport". The aim of this system is to test, label, and publish the ingredients of nutritional supplements so that athletes can avoid getting positive dope tests from these supplements. Throughout the collaboration agreement, they use the term 'dopinggeduide stoffen' that might be in some supplements on the market. Here is a typical sentence: "Het gebruik van dopinggeduide stoffen en/of verboden methoden, het aanzetten tot het gebruik ervan en de verstrekking van dopinggeduide middelen is verboden binnen de sport".

I'm wondering if the word 'geduide' has any special significance and if there is any reason why I can't just translate that as 'doping substances'.

A little more context (sentence) would help.
