Blood doping, also known as blood packing or blood boosting, is the injection of blood or blood-related products to raise the blood’s oxygen carrying capacity. This happens because there are more red blood cells to carry oxygen, which can help athletes competing in aerobic (endurance) sports. Athletes may use their own blood (previously withdrawn and frozen) or someone else’s blood.
