What is a biological passport?

According to the official website of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) monitors certain “biological parameters” that indirectly detect the effects of doping.

“The fundamental principle of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is to monitor certain biological variables that indirectly reveal the effects of doping, instead of trying to detect the substance or method of doping itself,” WADA said, according to News.ro. .

Anti-doping organizations can integrate the biological passport into the broader framework of a strong anti-doping program to:

  • to identify athletes who need additional attention through intelligent and timely interpretation of passport data. ABP provides valuable information that can be used to more effectively manage anti-doping activities such as targeted testing or investigations
  • to prosecute possible Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) under Article 2.2 (Use or Attempted Use by an Athlete of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method) of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code).

Simona Halep’s hearing in the doping case is possible on May 28

In the aforementioned interview with Tennis Majors, Simona said at one point that she had a hearing scheduled for May 28, but that the ITF, which had already rejected her evidence and request to lift the suspension, could demand that the hearing be cancelled. It remains to be seen what will happen at that point.

The ITIA sets out the steps that are normally followed in the following doping cases: testing / samples sent to the laboratory / analysis report / analysis of the results / contact with the player / provisional suspension / accusation of the athlete / player response / player fully admits / player admits only in part / decision and sanction / player rejects / court / court decision and sanction / appeal.

  • The news that Simona Halep was temporarily suspended for doping appeared on Friday, October 21, 2022.
