CERA or Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator is a stamina boosting drug which was recently found during the Tour de France. Its the latest version of EPO drugs and it seems the Beijing Olympics drug testing might missed this drug out

The drug CERA is said to increase the number of red blood cells produced by bone marrow. It’s genetically designed to last longer and require lesser injections that the older EPO drugs

So IOC has decided to retest all of the samples collected from the Olympic games and I reckon we might have a few surprises

The Olympics games saw 9 athletes tested positive out of 5000 test. That’s like less than 0.2% of those who got caught based on overall athlete population
