A common practice among elite endurance athletes is blood doping. This is an illegal, although hard to detect process where these athletes inject EPO into their bloodstream so that red blood cells are produced. When this is done too rapidly, or to a large enou...
The average person's proportion of red blood cells, measured by "packed cell volume" (PCV), is around 44 percent. The PCV for many top cyclists — possible due to a genetic predisposition,training at high altitudes, or widespread doping — is around 50 percent. According to a 2000 paper ...
Blood doping— removing and preserving a supply of blood so it can be returned, via transfusion, to the body right before competition — is one way to do this. But it's messy and time-consuming. Takingerythropoietin, or EPO, increases red blood cell production without the need for tran...

High altitudes: At elevation, oxygen concentration in the air is sparse. The body responds by producing more red blood cells and hemoglobin to better transport oxygen. Medication: Some medications, like erythropoietin (EPO)—the drug that eventually busted Lance Armstrong for doping—increase red ...
Is altitude training safe? Altitude training using a Hypoxico system is very safe - much more so than actually traveling to high altitude. This is because your level of oxygen intake can easily be adjusted to maintain a blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) that is ideal for training. However, users...
What are the physiological implications of the disease Polycythemia Vera and Blood Doping? What is abnormal about the physiology of people with this disease? Describe the effect of physical activity on diabetes mellitus. Define Myocardial Infarction, and how it can affect the ECG...
out of sight; Lance Armstrong hiring his Spanish gardener to leave doses of erythropoietin (EPO) ahead of Tour stops; early doping adopters dying in their sleep, blood so thick from EPO that their hearts simply stopped pumping; cyclists suffering through sleepless fevers because of “bad blood....
