While sportspersons that dope find new methods to avoid detection, anti-doping officers develop new techniques in order to catch those that apply forbidden drugs. One of new techniques elaborated into anti-doping system is biological passport. It helps to define whether an athlete has administered any banned medication. The biological passport measures several biomarkers that may indicate whether an individual has administered certain medicines. So, it can measure hemoglobin levels. Unexplained low or increased hemoglobin levels may indicate doping. So, the biological passport defines physical changes which play significant role in detection.
It is obvious that anti-doping system becomes more progressive. It develops new ways to catch dopers and clean sports.
If you compare drug tests which have been applied earlier with those which are utilized nowadays, you can notice that the difference is essential. Anti-doping efforts are great. Drug testing becomes more progressive.
It was also elaborated a test for detection of CERA. This drug was initially developed in order to treat anemia related to kidney dysfunctions. Since earlier there was not any drug test that could determine metabolites of this substance, Rashid Ramzi of Bahrain avoided detection at the Beijing Olympics. Recently his sample was re-analyzed. Anti-doping officers determined that this athlete had applied CERA. As a result, Rashid Ramzi lost his awards.
Earlier it was difficult and even quite impossible to catch those who applied HGH. Recently a blood test for this drug was also developed.
Another new drug test, known as Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry, was also lately created. This test helps to set whether testosterone has been used from outsides or it has been produced in the body naturally.
Thus, anti-doping system is more progressive today. Anti-doping officers claim that they will be capable to clean sports from usage of doping products.
