Blood doping is the process of injecting extra blood to result in a higher heamoglobin level. This improves oxygen carrying capacity and endurance.

The source of the blood can be autologous (the blood was initially taken from the person, usually following training at altitude to increase the level of heamoglobin, frozen, and then injected back into the same person) or heterologous (tranferring blood from one person to another).
