  • Title: Effect of pre-competition and altitude training on blood models used to detect erythropoietin abuse by athletes.
    Author: Ashenden MJ, Sharpe K, Schoch C, Schumacher YO.
    Journal: Haematologica; 2004 Aug; 89(8):1019-20. PubMed ID: 15339692.
    Abstract:
    This study reports blood model scores used for detection of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) abuse by athletes. Elite female rowers were monitored prior to their World Championships, including a period spent training at moderate altitude. In contrast to previous results, no substantial increase in model scores was found following altitude exposure.
