I read very different opinions on the impact of blood doping.
Given that a blood-donation is about 0,5 Liter blood, so about 0,2-0,25 l of hematocrit, it could give some estimation on how much improvement an athlete could get from getting the hematocrit of about 1 Liter blood back so about 0,4-0,5l .
Of course with every bit more blood, the impact will decrase, but I assume that taking away 0,5l from a normal blood level will still have less impact than adding 1 l (or at least the relevant part of that 1l) to a normal blood level.
So dear blood donating guys (no matter if donating yourself or somebody else) how much pace difference did you feel after loosing half a liter blood?
