#antidoping — Public Fediverse posts

Tracking key biomarkers over time can help detect anomalies that might indicate an athlete's use of prohibited substances. I enjoyed this conversation about biomarkers being used to monitor potential abuse of steroids and growth hormone in sport. Exciting to see continued development in longitudinal tracking with the ABP!

I think it’s an important story, but annoying for a #TrackAndField fan in the middle of the World Champs

I think the #SportsMedia folks are very comfortable focusing on the #PED issue when confined to Track And Field which has likely the best #AntiDoping program in the #sports world

I hear nary a word about PEDs in other sports. When was the last time you saw a publicized suspension in #AmericanFootball #Soccer #Tennis #Basketball etc?
