  • Where is the frontier between integrity in sport and anti-doping if it exists

  • Future opportunities for the Athlete Biological Passport

    Open AccessBastien Krumm, Francesco Botrè et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2022References: 1

    The Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) was introduced to complement the direct anti-doping approach by indirectly outlining the possible use of prohibited substances or methods in sports. The ABP proved its effectiveness, at least through a deterrent effect, even though the matrices used for longitudinal monitoring (urine and blood) are subject to many intrinsic (e.g., genetic) and extrinsic (e.g., environmental conditions) confounding factors. In…

  • The Influence of Training Load on Hematological Athlete Biological Passport Variables in Elite Cyclists

    Open AccessTiffany Astolfi, Fabienne Crettaz Von Roten et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2021

    The hematological module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is used in elite sport for antidoping purposes. Its aim is to better target athletes for testing and to indirectly detect blood doping. The ABP allows to monitor hematological variations in athletes using selected primary blood biomarkers [hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and reticulocyte percentage (Ret%)] with an adaptive Bayesian model to set individual upper and lower limits. If v…

  • Repeated Sprint Training in Hypoxia

    Open AccessRaphael Fai, Arnaud RapillardARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2020

    Repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) has gained unprecedented popularity among the various strategies using hypoxia as an additional stimulus to improve performance. This case study reports the benefits of 150 repeated sprints in normobaric hypoxia over 10 days in a professional cyclist. After 3 weeks of endurance training in November, the cyclist performed five RSH sessions at a simulated altitude of 3,300 m on his own bicycle attached to a…

  • Examining the Current and Future Scientific Field of Antidoping

    Open AccessRaphael Fai, David PavotARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2020References: 10

    To frame the current advances in anti-doping sciences, an initial definition of doping is necessary while it may in all cases foster a lively debate. The 2021 World Anti-Doping Code defines doping in Article 1 as "one or more of the anti-doping rule violations set forth in Articles 2.1 to 2.11 of the Code" (WADA, 2019) with an extremely detailed "Prohibited List" covering the Use or Attempted Use of doping substances and methods and certain malic…

  • Fighting Doping in Elite Sports

    Open AccessRaphael Fai, Jonas Saugy et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2019Cited by: 1References: 41

    In the fight against doping, detection of doping substances in biological matrices is paramount. Analytical possibilities have evolved and sanctioning a doping scenario by detecting forbidden bioactive compounds circulating unmodified in blood is nowadays very attractive. In addition, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) introduced the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) a decade ago as a new paradigm inferring the use of prohibited substances or me…
