Will this also be used to retroactively test samples from London and Rio?
I would be quivering right now if I was one of them EPO dopers.
Bekele is sitting home scared.
This is exciting news, but WADA still has to approve the test. And then we have to hope that they don’t sweep positive tests under the rug. But, if all goes well, we should see a whole parade of dopers bite the dust.

It can detect blood doping too!

This is the frustrating part. I think that the feeling that certain positives will be swept under the rug just sucks.
I wish they'd just start using it without telling the athletes.

Same, seems like the best way to truly catch people, no? But I guess this is sort of just a warning, maybe it's not even real and they just want to scare people. Also as someone who is suspicious of British dopers I do find it odd to see they're the ones behind it. Maybe they're using something other than EPO now.
Question though- if you're an athlete who is doped to the gills and you see this, what do you do?

Doesit only work for epo? I wonder about the other mechanisms? (hif activators, ESA, etc) That's the problem...when a test is developed, the steadfast ped camps are already 2 steps ahead. Glad we can save samples to be tested.

It's been over for Kenya for awhile now, according to you, yet 800m-marathon they got 3 Golds, 2 Silvers and 4 Bronzes at the World Champs compared to UK's no medals and a paltry 5 runners even cracking the top 8, hahaha.
Then we just have to stop dopers from greasing a few palms at the lab...

Maybe because you're as retarded as Chad? You honestly think that the UK has such a state sponsored doping program that independent university researchers wouldn't be allowed to design an anti-doping test? And British tabloids and journalists, the most rabid in the world, wouldn't have gotten a sniff of this happening under their noses (aside from dodgy packets sent to professional cyclists)?
Presumably you're American like Chad. Dudes - your best coach just got busted for doping, coach of a project run by the biggest sports company in the world - NIKE, an American company. I know Americans never leave the USA and only ever visit American websites, watch Hollywood movies etc, but seriously dudes, I'll let you into a little secret. Most of the world sees YOU guys as the sinister imperialists (I don't by the way), not the British.
The truth will come out someday. I am referring to S Coe. S Coe has everyone on let'srun thinking he did blood transfusions and that was his only extra unstated method to S Coe did to become great. 1978 & 1979, when S Coe became an official sub-47 400m man, he was 122lbs. at 5'8 1/2". I have never seen a F.A.T. sub-47 400m man built like S Coe was around 1978 & 1979 (ten or so year later due to S Coe's weight training he was about ten pounds heavier). Some day we will find out the exact cocktail of steroids/grown hormones taken by S Coe to generate F.A.T. sub-47 400m speed from that tiny body. Note: In U.S. one cannot swing a cat by the tail and not come in contact with a F.A.T. sub-47 400m man.
Excellent stuff! We may now expect Kenya/Ethiopia/Uganda/Bahrain/Qatar etc to have no medals at the 2020 Olympics.
I'm curious to know how does this new test deal with prolonged time spent at altitude... You know, like spending two months above 10,000+ feet high... That certainly will turn those genes as well, if they are tracking the RBC counts... Just thinking aloud...
You’re either poorly researched or posting rubbish on purpose.
Coe’s listed weight in 79 was 58kg (128lb), while by 86 it was frequently listed as 56kg (123lb). The guy lost weight over the course of 10 years from 79 to 89. Anyone with a pair of eyes can see that he was lighter in 86 than in 79.
You don’t need huge muscles to run 46.** for a 400m. All the muscle bound collegiates that seem to have no problems running 44 in April while at home in college and then never seem to manage anything matching that on the circuit in Europe peak season, are much more suspicious in my eyes.
It will be funny if the best 1500m times are 3:35 next year, nobody runs under 2:07 for the marathon etc, and if anyone does they get popped.
