The Use of Erythropoietin EPO in Sports

Use of erythropoietin EPO in exercise In recent years, athletes have used erythropoietin (EPO) to make headlines on sports pages around the world. In this article we will look at the evidence EPO is using in sports. What causes the athlete to use it? We will also look at the pros and cons of the people they want to do. Athletes are constantly pursuing better advantages for better performance and results. Many people are ready to use medicine to achieve their goals.

Abstract: In this case, evidence in the discussion on the use of functional enhancers, in particular erythropoietin (EPO), to obtain benefits in exercise is presented. It accounts for the achievement of a specific cross country skier with rare genetic mutations that leads to excessive erythropoiesis, thereby enhancing the ability to deliver oxygen to the muscle. This is in sharp contrast to the scandal in the cycling world when Lance Armstrong and his teammates were used to increase their own red blood cell count. Using an article by Malcolm Gladwell as a starting point, we raised a question: Is it incorrect to use science to balance the competitive environment? Or: How do you use EPO to correct vision using glasses, orthopedic surgery, or other training techniques? The case ends with an intimate (matching) discussion and group recommendation for managing the sports authorities.

Why is not it allowed to use certain performance aids first? Of course, the rules of movement prohibit anabolic steroid hormones or synthetic hormones, such as human growth hormone (HGH), which are thought to enhance strength, erythropoietin (EPO) stimulates the production of oxygen carrying cells in the blood, This will increase endurance. But what exacerbates the way to improve performance from better equipment to more sophisticated training methods and nutrition programs? What is the ethical problem with the use of performance improvement medicine in sports?

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the kidneys stimulating erythrocyte production. This hormone can also be made and injected. Recently the EPO is related to the professional bicycle world. Although the EPO is a list of prohibited substances, some claim that cyclists are still using it to improve performance. HemAssist is a type of drug called hemoglobin oxygen carrier (HBOC). HBOC is an experimental drug that transports oxygen into the blood in a short time. They are designed to be used as a substitute blood for trauma patients. HemAssist entered the final stage of clinical trials in 1998 and research was discontinued due to safety issues
