The Doping Control Program that is currently taking place is an effective method to detect the marker(s) or evidence of prohibited methods use, nevertheless, it was not easy to detect if an athlete is taking intermittently or a small amount of drug. WADA first proposed the Athlete Biological Passport(ABP) in 2002 since the need for a more sophisticated doping control program has been emerged to fight against developing the resistance to substance and evolving the use of a prohibited method.
Two Modules of Athlete Biological Passport :
KADA will extend the ABP Program to high-risk sports for doping. The medical and biological data of athletes who have been notified that they are selected for the ABP Program will be collected through repetitive testing. The following makers are considered within the ABP Haematological and Steroidal module.
| HCT | Haematocrit |
|---|---|
| HGB | Haemoglobin |
| RBC | Red blood cell (erythrocyte) count |
| RET% | Reticulocytes percentage |
| RET# | Reticulocyte count |
| MCV | Mean corpuscular volume |
| MCH | Mean corpuscular haemoglobin |
| MCHC | Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration |
| RDW-SD | Red cell distribution width (standard deviation) |
| IRF | Immature reticulocyte fraction |
| OFFS | OFF-hr Score |
| ABPS | Abnormal Blood Profile Score (ABPS) |
| testosterone (T); | |
| epitestosterone (E); | |
| androsterone (A); | |
| etiocholanolone (Etio); | |
| 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (5αAdiol); | |
| 5β-androstane-3α,17β-diol (5βAdiol); |
| testosterone to epitestosterone (T/E); | |
| androsterone to testosterone (A/T); | |
| androsterone to etiocholanolone (A/Etio); | |
| 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol to 5β-androstane-3α,17β-diol (5αAdiol/5βAdiol); and |
|
| 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol to epitestosterone (5αAdiol/E) |
