Hemoglobin helps lower your pH since Iron(III) has an odd number of electrons, and thus must have one or more unpaired electrons.

Provide 1 documented example of blood doping used in sportAmerican cyclist Tyler Hamilton is facing the

loss of his Olympic gold medal in the cycling time trial because two separate blood tests suggested that he might be guilty of "blood doping." Hamilton, who has up to now enjoyed a squeaky-clean image, denies the charge.

Provide a 2nd documented example of blood doping in sport NOW I'M HELPING ROSS, ACTUALLY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT

BLOOD DOPING HAS IN FACT A LOWER IMPACT ON SWIMMING BECAUSE THIS SPORT THOUGH VERY AEROBIC, DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO VENTILATE YOUR LUNGS PROPERLY. BACKSTROKE IS ALSO AFFECTED, TO SOME DEGREE. IF ANYTHING, COUNT THE TIME SPENT UNDERWATER DURING THE TURN PHASE.IN GENERAL, THE MORE YOU TRY TO BREATHE, THE LESS EFFICIENT YOU GET, SO YOU WIN POWER BUT IN THE SAME TIME YOU DROP ON EFFICIENCY. TO GAIN ANYTHING FROM THE EXTRA OXYGEN-CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE BLOOD, YOU NEED TO BREATHE MORE AIR INTO YOUR LUNGS, AND THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM. THERE MIGHT NOT BE ANY INCENTIVE FOR SWIMMERS TO GET RIDICULOUSLY HIGH HEMATOCRIT EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD PROBABLY GET AWAY WITH IT.
