Internet TV brings live coverage of Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.
Out of respect for Georgian luge athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili, who passed away in a tragic accident earlier today at The Whistler Sliding Centre, flags were lowered to half-mast during the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
The Georgian National Olympic Committee and its athletes wore black armbands and a black mark was placed on the Georgian flag to symbolize their mourning. International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacques Rogge, on behalf of the IOC, International Federations (IF) and VANOC, made a statement about the athlete’s untimely death and expressed sincere condolences.
WASHINGTON: Athletes in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games are likely to use blood-doping to boost their performances, experts have warned.
he body then builds up replacement blood and, shortly before an event, the extra blood is injected back into the body.
This method can sometimes be caught by tests that can tell if a person's haemoglobin-the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to tissue-is suspiciously high.
But athletes using this version of blood doping have been known to inject blood in the morning, race, then have the blood withdrawn later, thereby reducing their chances of being caught by random tests.
In the Vancouver 2010 games, blood doping would "probably help almost everybody, even figure skaters. But the target group is cross-country skiers. They have had episodes of blood doping [in the past]," Catlin said.
