Genetic doping will soon be detectable, IOC president Jacques Rogge said during a conference of anti-doping experts here. Genetic doping is used by athletes trying to hide illegal use of performance-enhancing substances.The use of substances such as the banned blood booster EPO (erythropoeitin) has bedevilled both amateur and professional endurance sports but there has been an increasingly effective anti-doping crackdown.There are concerns that athletes could now consider bypassing injections of the banned drug -- which is detectable in urine -- for possible injections of the gene encoding the stimulant factor.
