Progressive anti-doping system

While sportspersons that dope find new methods to remain undetectable, anti-doping agencies elaborate new tools in order to catch those who use banned substances. One of new techniques elaborated into anti-doping system is biological passport. It helps to define whether a sportsperson has used any prohibited drug. The biological passport measures certain biomarkers which can indicate whether a person has taken certain products. Thus, it can measure hemoglobin levels. Unexplained decreased or increased hemoglobin levels may indicate doping. So, the biological passport sets physical changes which play significant role in detection.
It is obvious that anti-doping policy becomes more progressive. It elaborates new tools to catch dopers and make sports free from doping.
If you compare drug tests that have been utilized earlier with those that are used today, you may see that the difference is great. Anti-doping efforts are essential. Drug testing becomes more progressive.
It was also elaborated a test for detection of CERA. This preparation was originally created in order to treat anemia linked with kidney disorders. 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-tested by this new test. Anti-doping officers defined that this sportsman had applied CERA. As a result, he was stripped of his awards.
Earlier it was difficult and even quite impossible to catch those who applied HGH. Lately a blood test for this medicine was also developed.
Another new drug test, known as Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry, was also lately elaborated. This test helps to define whether testosterone has been used from outsides or it has been secreted in the body naturally.
Thus, anti-doping system is more advanced today. Anti-doping agencies hope that they will be able to make sports free from usage of doping products.
