ALL 2,000-plus athletes taking part at the 13th IAAF World Athletics Championships later this month in Daegu, South Korea, will be asked to provide blood samples in an "unprecedented anti-doping programme" which is hoped will provide testers with "relevant parameters (biomarkers) for individual profiling purposes within the framework of the Athlete Biological Passport.

This will be the first time "that a heterogeneous population of nearly 2,000 elite athletes competing at a major sporting event will be blood tested under the same optimal conditions, within the same time period," the IAAF trumpeted.

A release from the world governing body yesterday said the taking of blood samples would be done in addition to the approximately 500 urine samples that will be taken during in- and out-of-competition testing.

The collection of the blood samples will start on August 18 in a specially constructed doping control building next to the Athletes' Village, the release also said.

Jamaica's team, which is expected to comprise between 45 and 50 athletes, is expected to be named early next week with the athletes scheduled to report to pre-competition camp in nearby Gyeonasan.

While the purpose of the blood testing, the release also stated, was to monitor the "athlete's bookmark over time" and "not on the detection of prohibited substances or methods themselves", the release said they could eventually be "used in support of an anti-doping rule violation if an athlete's overall biological profile is found to be consistent with the use of a prohibited substance or a prohibited method, in accordance with IAAF Anti-Doping Rules and Regulations".

The programme will be carried out along with several agencies, including the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) and the Lausanne WADA-accredited Anti-Doping Laboratory (LAD), as well as Daegu Local Organising Committee, the Korean Anti-Doping Agency and the Doping Center of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, the release explained.

The samples, it said, would be analysed by the LAD on-site in Daegu for a first haematological screening analysis and after the end of the championships in Lausanne for further analyses.

The analyses by the LAD will focus on measuring relevant parameters (biomarkers) for individual profiling purposes within the framework of the Athlete Biological Passport, the release and explained.

"The fundamental principle of the Athlete Biological Passport is based on the monitoring of an athlete's biomarkers over time," it said.

Two tested positive from Daegu World Champs
Friday, 04 November 2011 08:52 Press Release

MONTE CARLO - The IAAF announced that the analyses of the urine samples collected during the 13th edition of the IAAF World Championships, Daegu 2011 as part of the biggest ever athletics anti-doping programme, are now completed.
 
A total of 468 urine samples were collected as part of the IAAF’s standard World Championships testing programme, 41 samples out-of-competition and 427 samples in-competition. The testing programme was implemented in full co-operation with the LOC and the Korean Anti-Doping Agency (KADA), with the samples being analysed by the WADA-accredited laboratory in Seoul.
 
From the standard urine testing conducted, the IAAF can confirm that two athletes returned adverse analytical findings for the prohibited stimulant, methylhexaneamine: Sara Moreira (POR) and Hee-Nam Lim (KOR). Both findings have been confirmed by B sample analysis and both athletes provisionally suspended pending the outcome of their respective disciplinary hearings, in accordance with IAAF Rules.
 
In addition to the standard urine tests conducted during the competition, blood samples were collected from 18 August in the Athletes’ village and focused predominantly on collecting blood samples for profiling purposes in connection with the Athlete Biological Passport. By the time the village closed on 4 September, a total of 1,849 blood samples had been collected. The samples were analysed on-site in Daegu for a first haematological screening and have now been transferred to the WADA-accredited laboratory in Lausanne for further analyses which are still on-going, including, in specific cases, for EPO and Growth Hormone.
 
IAAF President Lamine Diack said: “I am delighted to report that the testing programme in Daegu was an unprecedented success in terms of the number of samples collected. We were committed in Daegu to launching the Athlete Biological Passport in Athletics and in this regard, in addition to our regular World Championships testing programme, we were successful in taking a blood sample from every accredited athlete in Daegu which was a remarkable achievement.”
 
“I am also really pleased that our efforts in Daegu to provide an educational forum for athletes via the anti-doping outreach programme proved to be extremely popular. We can now look forward to the Olympic Games in London and we will be continuing to work as hard as ever to prevent doping in our sport”, said President Diack.
