If you're talking about a full blood transfusion for medical purposes, probably, assuming the event officials are notified prior to the event and give their consent. On the other hand, if you're talking about blood doping, the infusion of additional red blood cells which carry oxygen to the muscles, then no, this was outlawed for athletes in 1986.

Do you have to replace blood if you receive a blood transfusion?

If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK).
