New efficient tools introduced into anti-doping system

While athletes that dope seek new ways to avoid detection, anti-doping agencies develop new tools in order to catch those who take forbidden substances. One of new techniques introduced into anti-doping system is biological passport. It helps to define whether a sportsperson has used any prohibited product. The biological passport measures certain biomarkers that may indicate whether an individual has applied certain products. Thus, it can measure hemoglobin levels. Unexplained decreased or high hemoglobin levels may indicate doping. So, the biological passport defines physical changes which play great role in detection.
It is obvious that anti-doping system becomes more advanced. It creates new ways to catch dopers and clean sports.
If you compare drug tests that have been used earlier with those which are applied nowadays, you can see that the difference is great. Anti-doping efforts are essential. Drug testing becomes more advanced.
It was also developed a test for detection of CERA. This medicine was initially developed in order to cure anemia related to kidney diseases. 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 officials defined that this sportsman had applied CERA. As a result, he forfeited his awards.
Earlier it was difficult and even quite impossible to catch those who applied HGH. Recently a blood test for this preparation was also introduced.
Another new drug test, known as Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry, was also lately created. This test helps to set whether testosterone has been taken from outsides or it has been secreted in the body naturally.
Thus, anti-doping system is more advanced nowadays. Anti-doping officials believe that they will be able to make sports free from administration of performance-enhancing drugs.
