Doping in NZ...
-
Resurrecting this topic for general discussion on PEDs and general doping in sport as I saw this "article" in the Herald and thought it deserved a comment.
It's not exactly PEDs and I read it as I wondered who the "star" was.
It was headlined to seem like there is a major painkiller problem in rugby, but it's pretty obvious that it is nothing more than an advert.
Find this sort of advertising distasteful.

Find this sort of advertising distasteful.I saw that too and it is complete bollocks. I wonder if he actually paid to have that "article" written / published?

Saw this paper today, which I thought was pretty interesting.
Using liposomes (lipid bilayer particles) to encapsulate haemoglobin for continuous release. Would increase haemoglobin availability (for oxygen carrying), while potentially not exceeding doping thresholds.
Haemoglobin delivered by liposome vesicles (liposomeāencapsulated haemoglobins, LEHs), first proposed as blood substitutes nearly 30āyears ago,13 are a particular subclass of artificial oxygen carriers currently in preclinical development and represent a potential breakthrough in the field of blood substitutes.14-16 The long circulating liposomeābased drug delivery system, thanks to the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) derivatized phospholipids, allows for a prolonged delivery of oxygen to the tissues and reduced immunogenicity.17-19
Apart from their multiple clinical applications and promising therapeutic utility, LEHs, as well as other HBOCs, could in principle also be misused in sport doping practice, with the specific aim to increase the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.20, 21 As such, they fall into category āM1 ā Manipulation of Blood and Blood Componentsā of the WADA list of prohibited substances and methods, which covers not only blood transfusions, but also, specifically, HBOCs, in Subsection 2: āArtificially enhancing the uptake, transport or delivery of oxygen. Including, but not limited to perfluorochemicals; efaproxiral (RSR13) and modified haemoglobin products, e.g. haemoglobinābased blood substitutes and microencapsulated haemoglobin products, excluding supplemental oxygenā.9

@Tim the science will just keep pushing on. I watch a fair bit of weightlifting and powerlifting content and people are def trying new stuff in that arena. At least they have options for clean v not unlike athletics etc. But Olympic weightlifting is def battling hard out doping, kind of like cycling where it's a matter of when, rather than if, people will get found out.

The dopers are one step ahead

@canefan or more aye! Although it is interesting that some of the never methods are seemingly less damaging or risky, at least in the weightlifting scene. Aside from putting an unhealthy level of muscle mass on your frame of course!

I guess they need to be increasingly difficult to detect so they need to be more subtle

Normally when the Herald whore themselves out to this degree they label it ā sponsored content ā . Pathetic.
Oh yeah ā rugby starā , thatās as laughable as Chris Rattue being ā premium content ā.

@jegga What I like most is not that the majority of fans wouldn't be able to name him, it's that he's aware of the habits of players after being out of the game for the better part of the decade.

It ties in nicely with the woo thread , is this CBD product youāre shilling FDA approved ?
Nope . It says on its website ālab tested ā its lab tested to make sure thereās no THC in it.

Whenever I think of Grayson Hart it wonāt be as a ā super rugby starā itāll be as another snake oil salesmen.
