The Use of Erythropoietin by Athletes

Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein produced primarily in the adult kidney and to a lesser extent in the liver. It acts like a hormone, regulates the erythropoiesis level, and keeps the red blood cell count within a narrow range. It is widely used in the treatment of many serious diseases, from the type of anemia to the treatment of certain types of cancer, and the fight against AIDS. Unfortunately, some players doing something for victory know their functional benefits and the seriousness of abuse.

Blood irritants and erythropoietin are used by PED as athletes who want to improve endurance. This doping improves aerobic capacity by increasing the amount of red blood cells that can be used to supply oxygen to contracting muscles. This means that athletes have more capacity to use oxygen in long-distance races such as cycling, running, cross-country skiing. Side effects of allogeneic transfusion include severe immune reactions and metastasis of viral diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. The use of autologous blood stimulants and erythropoietin can cause excessive red blood cells in the body and can cause hypertension, congestive heart failure, stroke.

If the athlete is injured or sick or is onset, the cost of drug use will increase. European bicycle officials are blaming athletes using erythropoietin (EPO) which increases red blood cell count and allows blood to supply more oxygen to the muscles. Well, when a cyclist rides around the mountain, the audience may ask: Do natural abilities combine with strict training? Or is it EPO? Dr. Thomas Murray, director of the Hastings center in London and Don Catlin of the Olympic Drug Testing Laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles, stated that the Olympic drug test should keep sports beauty and praise and all athletes compete fairly I wrote that to do.

Olympic athletes gradually remove traditional medicines such as stimulants and steroids and are turning into new performance enhancing substances that can not be seen in the official IOC test. Human growth hormone (hGH), erythropoietin (EPO), testosterone has become the most popular among these drugs. Human growth hormone provides more energy to athletes as it is a natural hormone that it can not detect, so it does not appear in urine tests. Erythropoietin increases the number of erythrocytes in the body and extra blood cells are difficult to detect because it is the athletes themselves. Testosterone is used to build muscle and allows the natural body level that the rule is up to 5 times
