“Swedish professor to bust cheaters”

“SEEFELD. Bloddopningen as Hauke, Baldauf and Poltoranin used has been impossible to trace. “

“But within a month produced a kind of kit which can change the skiing.”

“I got a brainwave,” says the Swedish professor Christer Malm.”

“Max Hauke was arrested with a needle in his arm in the middle of Seefeld. The austrian world CUP skier held on to pump blood in its body, a so-called transfusion, which is not easily detected, ie cheating. “

“For what you are spraying is usually your own blood, you lost out and frozen at an earlier time. With today’s methods you can the blood not to track, which is the reason that dopningsjägarna or the police want to take the cheaters caught in the act.”

“– It is common to inject a half liter of blood to get more red blood cells. It allows you to get a higher bearing capacity and better fitness. It gives a percent more, which is as much as may be required in order to win, ” says Åke Andrén-Sandberg, chairman of the FOUNDATION’s antidopningskommission.”

“Three racers so far have admitted that they bloddopat in conjunction with the world CHAMPIONSHIPS: in addition to the Hauke his compatriot Dominik Baldauf and Alexey Poltoranin from Kazakhstan. In addition to them is Andreas Veerpalu and Karel Tammjärv from Estonia in the police custody. “

“But to the next world CUP it can neither be required of recognition or found athletes. Thank an american for it. “

“”the Fingerprint is changed””

” We have been researching since 2008 and is in the final stages. During the next month we will be making a first version of a analyskit as dopningslabben can use in the same machines that they test for steroids, ” says professor Christer Malm, Umeå University.”

“What Ore have found is that some proteins change their structure if the blood has been frozen. By searching for the kind of biomarkers, it must be possible to prove whether the illicit blood transfusions done, does he expect.”

“– Självtappning and storage is done long before you need the blood. When you stop back fryslagrat blood it becomes like your fingerprint in the blood to change, ” said Ore.”

“the technology Used at the world CUP in two years?”

“– Yes, we’re done with the tests within a year, so the question may be addressed to the Wada. For the principle is quite simple, but the technology has been extremely difficult to get stable.”
