Athlete Biological Passport

About Athlete Biological Passport:

  • It is an advanced anti-doping tool that monitors an athlete’s biological markers over time.
  • By analyzing variations in parameters such as blood and steroid profiles, the ABP helps to ensure fair play in sports and to protect clean athletes.
  • It works against doping through enhanced target testing and analysis, investigations, deterrence, and as indirect evidence for use of prohibited methods or substances.
  • The principal objectives of the ABP program are the following:
    • It can be used to conduct targeted, conventional anti-doping tests on athletes with abnormal profiles.
    • It can also be used as corroborating evidence of doping during an anti-doping rule violation case.
  • Currently three modules were implemented in ABP program:
    • Haematological Module:  The Haematological Module collects information on Markers of blood doping. This module aims to identify the Use of Prohibited Substances and/or Prohibited Methods for the enhancement of oxygen transport or delivery.
    • Steroidal Module: The Steroidal Module collects information on Markers of steroid doping measured in urineØ and/or serum Samples. The module aims to identify endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids (EAAS) when administered exogenously.
    • Endocrine Module: The Endocrine Module collects information on Markers of hGH doping. The module aims to identify human growth harmone (hGH) use and as well as use of hGH analogs.
