If you follow sports, you’ve undoubtedly heard about athletes who have been caught using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Anabolic steroids are some of the more well-known PEDs, but erythropoietin (EPO)—a drug used to boost red blood cell counts in a practice called “blood doping”—falls under the same umbrella of forbidden substances. In fact, EPO has been a source of.“The term ‘blood doping’ refers to the practice of increasing the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in one’s circulatory system, either by receiving a blood transfusion or by taking erythropoietin (‘epo’ for short), a hormone that promotes RBC production.Blood Doping and EPO: An Anti-Doping FAQ Blood doping, which may include the use of erythropoietin (EPO), is among the most well-known methods of doping in sport.
Learn more about the prohibited method, as well as the prohibited substance EPO, in this anti-doping FA.“It is the position of the American College of Sports Medicine that any blood doping procedure used in an attempt to improve athletic performance is unethical, unfair, and exposes the athlete to unwarranted and potentially serious health risks.The use of recombinant human erythropoietin has become common place in cycling.
A sport that has had many reports of cheating, in the last decade. The sport has seen many suspicions and suspensions. Many of the major champions in cycling, associated with, or suspended for, use of blood doping.Erythropoietin (EPO) is found naturally in the human body and has been commercially available as recombinant human EPO (rEPO) for almost 20 years. Although the positive benefits of rEPO cannot be denied for those who suffer from anemia, athletes have also used the drug as an ergogenic aid.
The availability of recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) in 1987 in Europe made it clear that this ergogenic hormone would be used illicitly in endurance sports. Therefore, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Medical Commission decided to ban this drug in 1990, even though all forms of blood doping had been officially banned since 1984.These are substances such as EPO (erythropoietin) which increases bulk, strength and red blood cell count and gives athletes more energy and HGH (human growth hormone), which builds muscle.Blood doping has the same end result as using EPO. In effect, the athlete donates a unit (about a pint) or two of blood to himself. The blood can be stored for a month or two while the body replenishes it and just before competition, the saved blood is transfused back into the athlete, increasing the red blood cell count and the oxygen delivery capacity.
injections of erythropoietin (EPO) injections of synthetic oxygen carriers. Here are some more details about each of these types of blood doping: Blood transfusions. In normal medical practice.
Erythropoietin—more commonly known as EPO—is a type of blood doping that can help improve an athlete’s endurance.Now he has fallen, admitting that he blood doped, used steroids and erythropoietin (EPO), and exhibited disdain to those around him, both friend and foe. The problem, however, is that sports are always filled with cheating, and the public accepts some acts of dishonesty as part of the game.Erythropoietin (EPO) is a peptide hormone that is produced naturally by the human body.
EPO is released from the kidneys and acts on the bone marrow to stimulate red blood cell production. An increase in red blood cells improves the amount of oxygen that the blood can carry to the body’s muscles.EPO has a long history of abuse in endurance sports. Blood doping involves the misuse of certain techniques and/or substances like EPO to increase one’s red blood cell mass, which allows the body to transport more oxygen to muscles and therefore increase stamina and performance.
But the point being is EPO increases red blood cell count, red blood cells carry more oxygen to working muscles and that’s where you get the benefits of EPO. But EPO isn’t without side effects, especially in warm, hot conditions, and if you aren’t hydrating, and if you’re doping with EPO or blood doping, your blood can turn to sludge and kill you.

Don’t let any of this distract you from that Dominick Cruz said Connor’s tiring Khabib out by absorbing punches on his head ��.
Taking GABA allegedly stimulates your body to produce it’s own HGH. I tried taking it for a while when I was a student. GABA can help you sleep but I have no evidence it increases lean mass. But I am very lean anyway so who knows.
If you don’t know the effects of the steroids you are using then you may experience a problem in the pants. However, if you do know what you are doing, you will get QUITE THE LIBIDO BOOST! Guys should try that for ED instead of whatever pills. You’ll get way more out of it. That is of course if you aren’t trying to have kids at the time cause you won’t be able to, but you certainly can put in all of the required work and some.
Does EPO help with general performance who are not competing and just want a boost to workout in gym or running distance?
Do Athletes Gain an Unfair Advantage by Using Performance Enhancing Drugs?
Who else is here after learning Tj Dillashaw got caught using this?
pretty amazing channel for youtube… keep up the good work, beware of youtube truthers!
I’m a supporter of mandatory steroid use for professional sports. The only reason we have professional sports is for the viewers, and the entertainment quality will be so much higher if everyone was on steroids.
There’s actually no evidence that steroids cause aggression…
Steroids get a bad rap simply because we don’t have very conclusive information about taking them. there have been literally NO studies done showing long term negative side effects when used in the recommended way. We have only found negative long term side effects when steroids are abused up to this point, and negative public perception also comes from the fact that they are illegal to use in most competition rather than them causing negative effects in and of themselves.
A very good lecture. Thank you so much.
Do you have videos on myeloproliferative neoplasms also? and multiple myeloma? porphyrias? etc. I was also searching through the playlist but couldn’t find it.
If one produces more red blood cells, isn’t there a risk that blood becomes thicker?
The most common Performance Enhancing Drug… Viagra, you will “perform” much better. XD
Not quite fair to suggest that no studies find a supplement to be beneficial. It needs to be evaluated in the same scenario that the dopers are using. Whilst conducting research into steroids I found that many old studies said that anabolic steroids had no effect. This was because they had to use such low doses to pass ethics boards and didn’t reflect actual doping amounts.
Finland was the Best sport country In the world, then doping Came, and finland started losing. Hmmmm… Wonder why….
This is by far one of the best videos to understand how EPO reacts inside your blood stream.
may I ask what tablet you are using to write your lecture notes? thanks…
“WhOs HeRe CaUsE oF dIlLaShAw?!?” Stfu I’m trying to get swoled up
Move on, speaks in an annoying way and doesn’t even know about the subject
Poor Hank looks like he could use some PED’s in this video…
there is a way to naturally increase red blood cell count, there is a way to naturally increase red blood cell count. they can take up the years to get to that position but you can also keep it for several months.
what are the symptoms of low EPO? PLEASE I NEED FOR MY REPORT
Everyone, welcome to Drug class.. it’s time to learn EPO that Tj was using
I would like to know how to naturally make my body, or more specifically my blood, naturally more efficient at storing oxygen.
Nearly PEDs have their genesis in medicine. They are subsequently applied to healthy people to get an edge. It’s an age old story. Just about every recreational drug was originally medical. One of the few exceptions is marijuana.
Its not cheating when most athletes are doing it
These people still work very hard to achieve their goals
Of course testosterone does the opposite of making you unable to have sex. You have/want it CONSTANTLY. As far as sex drive goes, testosterone essentially turns you into a junior high school boy. You used to pull your girlfriend’s hair three or four times a week?
Now it’s six times a day and it won’t stop until you stop taking it. Then you go back to normal and your girl can’t decide whether she’s glad or not 😉
Would this help the conditioning of competitive athletes like TJ Dillashaw Due to the additional red blood cell production, would explain his insane cardio despite having lots of muscles which need supplying with oxygen.Typically the athletes with more muscle mass have cardio problems because of this?
YOU STUFFED UP MATE!! AT 6:22 YOU SAID “20 TIMES MORE OXYGEN” WHEN ON THE SCREEN IT WAS WRITTEN “20% MORE OXYGEN”!!! If it is 20 times more oxygen, then it would be the equivalent to 2000% more oxygen as compared to what was written on the screen as 20% more oxygen! A HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE DIFFERENCE my friend. I suggest that you do a video to retract what you said here, or take this video down, and then redo it please, before somebody overdoses on EPO.
The negative effects of steroids are always made out like they ate DEFINITELY going to happen to you on a cycle…..wrong, love this channel, and I know you can’t be like “oh steroids are brilliant” but they arnt as bad as every one likes to make out
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HOW YOU GET THE INFORMATION BECAUSE ITS HARD TO SEE RESEARCH IN SOME SITES BECAUSE ITS NOT FREE
Lol too much knowledge from this geek yet not the right information on steroids obiously talking about sports and it’s anabolics from a skinny guy is as stupid as a fat guy talking about going on a diet like if it will ever happen
They need to be illegal. People are quick to boast about IQ scores, and assert that it predicts everything in life, but then have the audacity to pop Adderall and Ritalin. Meanwhile, many people rely on natural emotional strengths to get themselves in school, actually behaving intelligently.
Thank you for the knowledge, great video and sense of humor. Best of luck!
Hey I have a question, so my mom was telling me that my aunt took progesterone while pregnant with my cousin and that’s why he’s really smart. However, I am skeptical because progesterone is also the hormone used in my Mirena birth control. How does that work out? Is what my mom was saying really true can that hormone really make kids smarter too? I know progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone but is it because of the different levels of it that make different effects?
Drug testing violates our 4th amendment rights and right to privacy
Please tell me which steroid is the best stamina&strength for marathon runners
Mind enhancing would be enough for me:) body would be nice, but over all? Smart drugs over body enhancing drugs!
What’s with all the anti-scientific preaching? I think highlighting the risks is useful… but this seems to take the line “if you do this terrible things will happen” with the implication (bcause it is wrong).
Can I please just get the breast reduction from the steroids?
you should have mentioned that anabol steroids don’t have any positive effect if you’re not exercising like madman while using them. so a fat couchpotato whose longest walk is the way from the tv to the WC won’t benefit in any way from the use and abuse of such drugs.
What about trans men who want to take synthetic testosterone and trans women who want to take synthetic estrogen?
So I can extract blood simply from a limb like an arm then save it for later then when I want to dope it it’s not simple as that?
Living or having a training session on Highlands is also Blood doping
It gives you more red blood cell, which is same with blood doping
it’s amazing how tj dillashaw is teaching me new scientific knowledge.
igf1 actually works very well so I’m not sure where u guys got ur info on that one. but I do like n follow ur channel:)
Propranolol and similar molecules: Heart problems and cardiovascular diseases also…
Oh great the morality of PED’s just explain what it is and move on.. more times than not is who’s got the hand in the kitty and who’s making money in the back half sports. it was determining what’s legal and what’s not I who is making the money. A fine example was the UCI with Armstrong I didn’t care he could be quit making them all the money and expanding the sport probably 24 from when he started so I’ll take all lot of stocking of them
Most of the people who disliked it are probably….. (*´∇｀*) you know. ������
This little prick is giving alot of bad info on anabolics. So the people prescribed test for TRT and suffer no sidr effects are what? Anomalies to the side effects? No, only serious anabolic users suffer. When taken properly testosterone is the most amazing substance
Mostly accurate, but they are missing the mark on some of the facts. Ex: infertility pretty much only occurs if you stay on cycle for decades without either supplementing PCT hormones like HCG. Another example is sex drive is definitely enhanced on testosterone and is frequently used to cure impotence so long as it’s administered correctly. Most general doctors don’t know their head from their ass with hormones so specialized clinics is the best route.
I’m here because of TJ Dillashaw. I didn’t even hear about EPO until he got caught.
40 seconds in and I count so many puns. “Athletes get a leg up”. “He came clean about his doping.” Well done.
I took medical steroids for bronchitis and I was hyper aggressive and attacked my parents because I was angry with them I got help though.
am i the only one who thinks they should let the athletes do as much drugs as they want. as long as everybodys doing them it would be fair. also it would be a 1000x better to watch if everybody was a freaky super human that could run faster and throw further than any normal person. buuut thats just me
A little more on that is that the red blood cells use hemoglobin to carry the oxygen. Doesn’t change anything, but if you’re on here trying to learn then you might want to look up hemoglobin.
You are not talking about most important thing in sports: training and injury recovery.
You can tell who was using the Growth Hormone cuz they look like Ninja Turtles, having a specifically big belly although with muscles, it really looks like the shell of mentioned turtles.
Its not really cheating when everyone else is doing it. Thats called professional sports.
So… if you combine HCG whit anabolic steroids the negative points are nullified.
Thanks
EPO is contraindicated in cancer patients as it may induce tumor proliferation, this is up to my knowledge ¡
BS drugs dont casually increase your performance by a small margin… that is one of hte most stupid things i have heard…. they are way more effective then this video says.. do you think atheltes want to risk loosing medals and health for 10 20 % increase?
He needs to change his batteries in his smoke detector… I hate that noise
So all of our anti’s producing purposes being manufactured, is the main reason for our despair, Kool
I see lots of people keep on talking about Clegenatur Methods (just search it on google). But I’m uncertain if it’s good. Have you ever tried using this popular breast enlargement secrets?
This guy doesn’t understand the reality of high level pro sports. Everyone is doping! That’s what you have to do to compete. If you don’t use, then your spot will get taken by someone who does. Sadly, there’s a difference in sports between doping and cheating. Lance Armstrong is a good example.
I take Epogen because of renal failure, life sucks when you can’t walk a block without running out of breath because of low hemoglobin.
SO…they banned a lot of stuff that shows no evidence t work, y?
If it’s bad for u why do people take them bc can’t it hurt you later on
funny how they just made a video saying the opposite of why cheaters never win
How do I get better at _? Through more vigorous and rigorous training and perhaps more studying on ways to be better? ILL CHEAT INSTEAD
Very difficult to monitor all the drugs out there in competition. If you take a highly competent athlete and give him a slight edge with a drug, he/she becomes a fearless machine. Sure, there are dangerous side-effects down the road but they will deal with the cancer and shrinking testicles, impotence, low fertility, mental retardation after they put their trophy in the glass cabinet and their names in the record books. But, they stripped Lance Armstrong of his achievements after the fact. Must be hard to resist a substance that can make you feel immortal and move you to the top. Glad I am not in that position. Look at Lyle Alzado, undersized lineman, ferocious and even performed admirably in a non-title fight against The Greatest (no drugs) Mohammed Ali. We all have these substances and receptors in our bodies already but these additions really enliven them.
im short af should i use hgh? ive been thinking about it fo a long time
raccomend none of the above…welcome to the losers bracket.
Does EPO help with general performance who are not competing and just want a boost to workout in gym or running distance?
HCG is used to kickstart testosterone production when coming off a steroid cycle.
some benign or malignant kidney tumors can cause the abnormal release of EPO
ANSWER OF YOUR LAST QUESTION
I have chronic sleep apnea and I use to be a triathlete, I can tell you I in no way have benefitted from this, and my lungs feel like a furnace now, my oxygen levels and ability to breath has seriously been effected. In regards to that, this person does not have a clue:(
I heard about 20 yrs ago (got out in 2002) some members of the Marine Corps shooting team tested positive for opiates. Don’t know if it’s true or not.
If you have more red blood cells, how do you get more oxygen? Do you not absorb as much oxygen as I thought?
Everyone in the tour de france was cheating. They tried to give his medals to the next guy, who said “Oh, I was doing that too…” so they went to the next guy and he said “Guys, we were all doing that… keep your fucking medals”
I think PEMF devices such as earthpulse, flexpulse, etc are great too
In what world does achieving faster sprinting times on a bicycle, equate to no improvement in athletic performance or general fitness? In that context alone it in fact equates to a 4% increase in athletic performance which in the world of elite athletic competition such as, racing on a bicycle, 4% can not only be the difference between winning and losing but it can also represent a very significant difference in monetary compensation. Exponentially greater than 4%. Just saying.
This is stubid topic. i hate when some one say i used steroids because i have big muscles. but only thing i have done is 7years of hard training
Let’s not forget epo will make you train alot harder. TJ ripped body was because what epo was doing in his training. He was having a physical advantage in and outside the octagon
That man was definitely no CSC rider. too fat, and form was terrible
It doesn’t look like anyone has answered this question yet so: Hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma. Are there any others?
Great information! Just to clarify before competition I should hold my breath? for how long and how many times? to boost EPO
