    "...Our results from robust hematological parameters indicate an estimation of an overall blood doping prevalence of 18% in 2011 and 15% in 2013 (non-significant difference) in average in endurance athletes [95% Confidence Interval (CI) 14–22 and 12–19% for 2011 and 2013, respectively]. A higher prevalence was observed in female athletes (22%, CI 16–28%) than in male athletes (15%, CI 9–20%) in 2011. In conclusion, this study presents the first comparison of blood doping prevalence in elite athletes based on biological measurements from major international events that may help scientists and experts to use the ABP in a more efficient and deterrent way..."

    Wow. That's an amazing article. I haven't had time to look at everything yet, but one thing that blew my mind was Table 3. Hopefully I'm getting the gist correctly and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is showing all the countries with 10 or more athletes competing in those 2 World Championships, and how many of those athletes were likely blood-doping. And there were some HUGE disparities between nations, for example:

    Country K: 47% likely doping in 2011 World Championships; 61% doping in 2013 WC

    Country I: 0% doping in 2011 WC; 0% doping in 2013 WC

    (it doesn't mention countries by name, though I imagine it would be possible to figure out by number of athletes present)

    The wide disparities would seem to back up various theories that there are "cleaner countries" and "dirty countries". Or else some countries are better at having their athletes present plausible blood profiles at least. Either way, some very interesting statistics.

    Country K is (not shockingly) Morocco.

    Country G is Great Britain in case anyone is interested, haha. Haven't looked for any others yet.

    Sorry to say, but all runners at elite/world class level are suspicious. Come Olympic marathon time, I wouldn’t be surprised if almost all are on some type of enhancer. You don’t beat talented hardworking athletes on PEDs and get to the Olympics on gumption and stick-to-it-tiveness.

    Country H and I: 0 throughout. I have a gut feeling ine if them is Japan.

    It confirms what I suspected: if your ABP is not 100% clean you are doping.
