Effectiveness of new tools elaborated by anti-doping agencies

While sportspeople that dope find new ways to remain undetectable, anti-doping officers introduce new tools in order to catch those who use forbidden drugs. One of new tools introduced into anti-doping system is biological passport. It helps to define whether an athlete has applied any banned substance. The biological passport measures some biomarkers which may indicate whether a person has taken certain substances. So, it can measure hemoglobin levels. Unexplained decreased or high hemoglobin levels may indicate doping. Thus, the biological passport determines physical changes that play great role in detection.

It was also elaborated a test for detection of CERA. This medicine was originally created in order to treat anemia linked with kidney diseases. Since earlier there was not any drug test which could determine metabolites of this substance, Rashid Ramzi of Bahrain could avoid detection at the Beijing Olympics. Recently his sample was re-tested by this new test. Anti-doping officials defined that this athlete had used CERA. As a result, he lost his awards.
Earlier it was hard and even quite impossible to catch those who administered 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 define whether testosterone has been applied from outsides or it has been produced in the body naturally.
So, anti-doping system is more progressive nowadays. Anti-doping agencies claim that they will be able to clean sports from administration of doping products.
