Vancouver 2010 Olympics: Free dopping

The Vancouver 2010 Olympics can be characterized above all fair play among all the analysis because there has been no doping case that has aroused widespread alarm except rare cases like that of a Russian hockey player.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that since 1600 there have been doping controls in 2010 Winter Olympics. Not a single positive recording all competitors investigated.

For other restrictions, only some athletes were prohibited from competing for five days, for filing rates and slightly higher abnormal hemoglobin. These cases were detected through tests carried out before the competition by the International Ski Federation.

The very high hemoglobin levels above normal may be a risk for athletes to qualify for any tournament official or tournament. These detections are often a valid argument used to temporarily prevent competition, but also can be a sign of action for blood doping.

According to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in total 888 tests have been performed before the Olympic Games 2010 and 706 during the competition, of which 362 blood samples.
