ITU starts Athlete Biological Passport testing
The International Triathlon Union announced today that it has begun an Athlete Biological Passport program designed to reveal doping indirectly by tracking selected biological variables that would indicate blood doping or other illegal forms of increasing red blood cell count to enhance performance.

The ITU Passport program will follow World Anti-Doping Association protocols established in 2008 which have been pioneered by the UCI and Tour de France cyclists since 2009.

LOL. Great choice of words but it's very embarrassing to read.
