Academic papers (Links)

Just an idea for a thread, if it's no need for it just delete it or let it disappear like EPO in a cyclists blood.

The idea is to collect all the academic papers in one place so it's easy to find. This I found when reading up on Zorzoli and the finnish skiers in Lahti 2001 (not in the article however).

For instance, I found this article 'rapid hemodilution induces by desmopressin after erythropoetin administrations i humans'. http://www.triathlon.org/uploads/docs/j ... -Gomar.pdf

It's from 2011 and perhaps very old, but it's about masking agents and just 1,5 litres of water. Yay, clean cycling. But again, if it's an unnecessary thread, let it go away like (insert Armstrong dropping Ullrich- joke here).

The WADA resources list is always potentially interesting:

As is the list of research projects that they are funding:

The study you linked sounds suss - you can hemodilute using water without buying and consuming some product they are trying to sell hah!

Personally I think a thread with links to relevant studies that are downloadable for free is a brilliant idea.

That's the rub though. Many of them are not available for free, even if open access publishing is becoming more widespread.

I could only see it working if it basically acted as a document store so people could easily reference them or go back and find them, but invariably it'll get filled with discussion and become just as hard to find anything in as any of the other threads...

Hahaha, no doubt. I'm sure there are people on the forum who are willing to pass the odd paper on too. It's a good idea, but probably needs more library work than any of the mods have time for to keep it useable.
 
Alright, didn't know where else to post this, but it's an abstract from a medical article about blood transfusions and EPO and the years it entered the medical world. They call 1986- 88 the "trial era" and 1989- 92 "the wide clinical avaliability of EPO". That settles perhaps two questions* questions and raises quite a few.

edited* It perhaps only settles one question, that one of when EPO became available to the medical world. It perhaps answers the question of when EPO entered "sports".
 
Alright. Had a good day here browsing the internet in my quest to slam down on the swedish ski team from 1988- 1993, or so.

I found a study from 1987 about how to detect autologous blood doping and apparently it was pretty successful if I'm reading the study correctly. Is this study well known?
I like the fact that it's tested on Swedish skiers and the rest is as Jan Ulrich put it.

Damn dude good find. Only read the abstract but it sounds good? Catch 50% at least. Tests have to be accredited, and back then EPO was more popular as it was safer.

I'am no expert but i thought blood doping was ----no IS very hard to detect esp when i minor doses?

Then it turns out that in 1988 there was a method for 50% detection in a two-week span?

What happened since..Were they wrong in their assumptions? Or is it down to proof beyond doubt etc?
 
Yeah..
Also, from what I understand of the article is that it's not even synthetic EPO they´re talking about, it's the bodies own EPO. This is a long time ago.

Edit; Found the second part of the study as well but it's more of performance and blood doping.

What's interesting about the study is that a small amount of HB increase leads to a, in elite level terms, dramatic performance gain.
