Scientists develop new system of a doping test. The Swiss researchers suggest to change system of revealing of a dope in an organism of . In their opinion, widely applied test on testosteron does not allow to receive objective enough results.



Testosteron - the hormone naturally developed by an organism by the person, - is often applied by sportsmen as . According to the operating rules, the raised maintenance of testosteron in an organism is considered one of certificates of possible application of a dope.

However scientific laboratories in Lausanne (Switzerland) assert that testosteron - too biassed indicator for suspicion of the sportsman in the use of .

During the research as which sponsor the International federation of football associations FIFA has acted, scientists have analysed indicators of testosteron at 171 football players of different ethnic accessories - natives of the countries of Africa, Asia, Caucasus and Latin America. As a result researchers managed to find out considerable distinctions in sportsmen from different groups. So, at players from Latin America level of testosteron initially was above, than at natives of the countries of Africa and caucasus, and is considerable above, than at Asians. For comparison, level of testosteron at the Latin American football players made 5,8 points, at football players of caucasus - 5,7, at natives of Africa - 5,6, and at inhabitants of Asia - 3,8 points. As they say in the statement of scientists published in British Journal of Sports Medicine, uniqueness and specificity of indicators of testosteron interfere with dope revealing in an organism.

"Even having established various requirements to sportsmen, we cannot define precisely enough level increase of testosteron, - scientist Kristof Saudan who was taking part in research speaks. - therefore it is necessary to use other system". As will write off Associated Press, with this opinion agree and in the International Olympic committee. "Testing for level revealing of testosteron is exact and useful way, - doctor Arne Ljungkvist representing the IOC speaks, - but it never can become the final proof of application of a dope". In turn The World Antidoping Agency has declared that "is well informed" on a problem of dependence of level of testosteron, developed by an organism, from an ethnic accessory of the sportsman. Last three years the agency together with laboratory develops the program of passport certification of athletes which will allow to compare present indicators of analyses of sportsmen with previous and to reveal considerable changes in an organism of the sportsman in case of dope application.
