What are examples of blood doping?

Answer 1

"Blood Doping" is when an athlete removes about a quart of their own blood and freezes it so it doesn't die. Once the blood has grown back into the body the extracted blood is put back in, giving the athlete more red blood cells to carry oxygen to the muscles. This also results in more carbon dioxide being removed from the blood, giving the athlete more energy and stamina.

Answer 2

In an effort to "clean up" sport for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) accelerated its efforts to develop satisfactory EPO testing methods. The sudden deaths of 18 Dutch and Belgian cyclists between 1987 and 1990 were linked to the illicit and uncontrolled use of synthetic erythropoietin (EPO), which was first released for medical use in 1987. Its widespread use was exposed during investigations during the 1998 Tour de France cycle race.

Answer 3

Blood doping is a process in which a syringe of blood is removed from the body and stored in refrigeration. After the body has replaced the blood in a week or 2, the syringe of blood is reintroduced into the body just before a competition or sporting event. This gives the athlete boosted stamina and strength. The excess blood is soon reabsorbed into the body, so the effects are only good for a day maybe 2. This process is dangerous if not done by a trained doctor or phlebotomist. I dont recommend it be attempted by the average athlete. Blood doping is also known as "blood packing".
