Solution

Dope test is an official test to discover whether a person or animal taking part in a competition has been given any drugs (such as anabolic steroids, erythropoietin etc.) to make their performance better or worse. It is a type of blood test. Alcohol is not used in this purpose. Alcohol has an effect on cerebellum and it results into imbalanced muscular activities, posture etc.
