Drug testing becomes more advanced

While sportspersons that dope seek new methods to remain undetectable, anti-doping agencies introduce new tools in order to catch those that use prohibited preparations. One of new techniques introduced into anti-doping system is biological passport. It helps to define whether a sportsperson has administered any banned medication. The biological passport measures certain biomarkers which can indicate whether a person has taken certain products. Thus, it can measure hemoglobin levels. Unexplained reduced or increased hemoglobin levels may indicate doping. Thus, the biological passport sets physical changes that play essential role in detection.
It is evident that anti-doping system becomes more advanced. It develops new techniques to catch dopers and clean sports.
If you compare drug tests which have been utilized earlier with those that are used today, you may notice that the difference is great. Anti-doping efforts are significant. Drug testing becomes more advanced.
It was also created a test for detection of CERA. This medicine was originally developed in order to cure anemia related to kidney disorders. Since earlier there was not any drug test which could determine metabolites of this substance, Rashid Ramzi of Bahrain avoided detection at the Beijing Olympics. Recently his sample was re-analyzed. Anti-doping officials determined that this athlete had administered CERA. As a result, he forfeited his awards.
Earlier it was hard and even quite impossible to catch those that used HGH. Lately a blood test for this substance was also created.
Another new drug test, known as Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry, was also recently elaborated. This test helps to set whether testosterone has been administered from outsides or it has been secreted in the body naturally.
Thus, anti-doping system is more progressive today. Anti-doping agencies think that they will be capable to clean sports from administration of doping products.
