BLOOD DOPING

Page 2: UNDERCOVER CHEATING BLOOD DOPING. Illicit method of improving athletic performance by artificially boosting the blood’s ability to bring more oxygen to

BLOOD DOPING

• Illicit method of improving athletic performance by artificially boosting the blood’s ability to bring more oxygen to muscles

Page 3: UNDERCOVER CHEATING BLOOD DOPING. Illicit method of improving athletic performance by artificially boosting the blood’s ability to bring more oxygen to

TYPES OF BLOOD DOPING

• Blood Transfusions• 2 types of transfusions

• Injections of erythropoietin (EPO)

Page 4: UNDERCOVER CHEATING BLOOD DOPING. Illicit method of improving athletic performance by artificially boosting the blood’s ability to bring more oxygen to

TYPES:BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS

Autologous Transfusions

• Athlete’s own blood

• Drawn and stored for later use

Homologous Transfusions

• Athletes use the blood of someone else with the same blood type

RISKS OF BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS

• Risk of infection

• Potential toxicity

• Homologous- greater risk of contracting an infectious disease

TYPES:EPO INJECTIONS

• EPO= erythropoietin

• Secreted by kidneys to regulate production of red blood cells

• Pharmaceutical product

RISKS OF EPO INJECTIONS

• Thicker blood

• Greater strain on heart

DETECTION OF BLOOD DOPING

• Search of athlete’s homes and team facilities

• Blood/urine test

TRANSFUSION DETECTION

Autologous Transfusions

• No current detection method

• World Anti Doping Agency

• Indirect methods

Homologous Transfusions

• Been in use since 2000

• Fluorescent-Activated Cell Sorting

EPO DETECTION

• EPO undetectable

• Very controversial

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

• “Blood Passports”

Page 14: UNDERCOVER CHEATING BLOOD DOPING. Illicit method of improving athletic performance by artificially boosting the blood’s ability to bring more oxygen to

MILITARY USE

• U.S. Special Forces

• Australian Defense Forces

• “All is fair in love and war”
