Something very strange about that!
Is that a service that any athlete can avail of ?
"Another senior independent expert who WADA recommended and who is head of the WADA accredited laboratory in Lausanne was asked at my request to review the data following the Sunday Times articles"
“Evaluation of Profile [redacted] – Review of Blood Data from 2001 -2008
I looked carefully the data which are part of the profile [redacted]. To my knowledge, they were obtained through several technologies. Moreover, data obtained for example in Vilamoura in 2003, with bloods collected before and right after the half marathon, ran in hot conditions, are typically showing effects of confounding factors. The increase of 2.8 in Hb (and no significant effect on ret%) is due to a drastic hemo-concentration caused by the specific race conditions. This post-race value, as most of the others, today would not be validated, and then not be implemented in a real biological passport.
Therefore, I consider that any interpretation of this profile, which would be done by ignoring the confounding factors cited above, is abusive.
Furthermore, any interpretation of these data implemented in an individual and longitudinal blood profile between 2001 and 2008 can be considered to my eyes as intellectually dishonest and scientifically biased.â€
Good Find. Here is Martial Saugy for those who missed iit:
