Epo and the athlete biological passport: hematological results from a placebo ‐controlled, boosting and microdose epo administration in male recreational athletes
AbstractHematological results in the context of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) from a placebo-controlled EPO administration study are provided here. Twelve participants administered eight subcutaneous boosting doses of epoetin alfa (at 40 IU/kg) over the course of twenty days. After a ten-day washout period, the same volunteers administered six microdoses (900 IU), intravenously, over thirteen days. A blinded Placebo cohort followed the same dosing pattern, administering saline instead of EPO. All participants supplemented with oral iron, daily, throughout the entirety of the study. In the EPO cohort, as expected, s...
