Upon learning other ways athletes use to enhance their performance, I read about one of the more dangerous methods of “doping,” it’s called “blood doping.” About 2 weeks before an athletic event the athlete has a liter of blood extracted from their body, and it is frozen and kept up until a day before the event. At that time the blood is put back into their system, giving them more red blood cells, and more endurance on game day. There are many things that could happen to the blood in the process of storing and putting it back in the athlete’s body, making this method one of the most dangerous ones that I have heard of.
