Robin Parisotto

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robin Parisotto is an Australian sports medicine specialist and anti-doping expert at the Australian Institute of Sport .

In 2000 he and his research team developed the first EPO blood test in the fight against blood doping . While EPO ingestion can only be detected for about two days with an EPO urine test, according to Parisotto EPO can be detected with his test up to six weeks after absorption into the body, as he did in an interview for the ARD television Documentation blood and games from August 2007 declared.

He went on to explain that the IOC , however, had chosen a French laboratory as the official test for Olympia 2000, which EPO was only able to detect two days after application. The Parisotto test ran unofficially alongside. In the official test (2-day test) there was not a single positive sample, whereas in the Parisotto test (6-week test) there were seven positive samples in 300 tests.
