Just read this:
Anti-doping expert Peter Van Eenoo has dismissed concerns about the use of marine worm haemoglobin as a blood doping product despite its ability to transport 40 times more oxygen than human haemoglobin.
Van Eenoo recognised worm haemoglobin could be performance enhancing but joked about cycling teams trying to obtain it.
Speaking to
Het Nieuwsblad, Van Eenoo said: “If you see a cycling team digging up worms on the beach, please call me.”
Then the article confirmed it would be detectable but only if test shortly after application. Then, of course, it has a short detectable span in the bloodstream. It's also closely controlled by the French company that produces it so there isn't a problem there. Riiiiight. Right up to the point the process is copied by Black Market Gatorade, "the drink that replenishes quickly." I love that the expert's dismissal of concerns contains validation of why it could be so useful.
