What is dope test and why it is done?
The use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport is commonly referred to by the disparaging term "doping", particularly by those organizations that regulate competitions. The use of performance enhancing drugs is mostly done to improve athletic performance. This is why many sports ban the use of performance enhancing drugs. Another similar use of medical technology is called blood doping, either by blood transfusion or use of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO). The use of drugs to enhance performance is considered unethical by most international sports organizations and especially the International Olympic Committee, although ethicists have argued that it is little different from the use of new materials in the construction of suits and sporting equipment, which similarly aid performance and can give competitors advantage over others. The reasons for the ban are mainly the alleged health threat of performance-enhancing drugs, the equality of opportunity for athletes and the supposedly exemplary effect of "clean" ("doping-free") sports in the public.To check wethere any player has taken drugs to play better is known as dope test.
It is done so that no player can use drugs.

Yes. You can determine paternity from DNA samples of siblings. This is done by using the gel electrophoresis method. Based upon the bands which are seen, one can denote the paternity as well as maternity. But for this the DNA sample of the father/s is also tested.
This method is frequently used in Forensic Science.
Is there a way to determine paternity without DNA?

When a baby is born how long do you have to wait to get DNA test done?
As soon as a baby is born. 23andMe's service requires about one half teaspoon of saliva. It often takes about 5-10 minutes for an adult to produce this volume. 23andMe offers an assisted sample collection method that may be suitable for young children and others who produce saliva but cannot spit. The kit requires about one quarter teaspoon of saliva, half the volume of their standard kits. The kit includes a special sponge to absorb saliva from an individual's mouth, which is then squeezed out into the collection tube using a groove in the funnel lid. Parents or legal guardians can consent to this testing on behalf of their children. Learn more at 23andme.com.

Can you have a paternity test while pregnant?
A DNA paternity test can be performed accurately before a child is born through amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. These methods are explained below. With either method, you will also need DNA samples from the person(s) you think are the father (involving a swab from the mouth).
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS):
Chorionic Villus Sampling is usually performed at very early stages of pregnancy, generally around the 8th to 13th week of pregnancy. During the CVS procedure, a catheter is inserted through the cervix and a small sample is taken from the outside of the gestational sack by gentle suction. This sampling procedure allows the obstetrician to obtain a small amount of fetal chorionic villi (trophoblastic tissue) which is used for the paternity test. Paternity tests conducted using CVS samples are just as accurate as tests which are performed after the child is born.
Amniocentesis:
Amniocentesis is generally performed at later stages of pregnancy. During an amniocentesis procedure, a small amount of amniotic fluid (10ml) is withdrawn transabdominally by your obstetrician. Amniotic fluid is also an excellent sample for paternity testing; paternity tests which are performed using amniotic fluid are just as accurate as tests conducted after the child is born.
Non Invasive Paternity Testing:
While amniocentesis and CVS carries certain risks, such as leakage of amniotic fluid which can endanger the baby's life, there is a risk free method for conducting a paternity test. Fetal DNA finds its way into the maternal blood stream through the wall of the placenta. The medical blood draw entailed in a non invasive test is essentially risk free.
You may also have blood cord samples taken when a child is born and this procedure is also totally safe.
How would you go about getting a paternity test the day the baby's born?
The case in which to get a prenatal paternity test has to be severe and rare. The odds are you're doctor won't do it, but if he does it will be through an Amnio. Plus, you will have to pay for it because you're insurance will not.
