Study Summary

Understand the effect of recombinant EPO (rEPO) boosting and microdosing on the hematological module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) * Measure the change in CD71 longitudinally in subjects from both cohorts * Assess whether rEPO administration can be detected in a dried blood spot (DBS) using recent advances in analytical methodologies * Compare windows of rEPO detection using both Athlete Biological Passport models and direct detection using analytical methods in urine, blood, and DBS

Primary Outcome

CD71 concentration will be measured during and following administration and will be compared to established baseline values from each individual and the study population to understand the changes caused by this dosing pattern of rEPO. These data, especially when comparing to the variability in CD71 in the placebo cohort, may be extrapolated in the anti-doping framework to detect rEPO abuse by athletes.
