The International Association of Athletics Federation is investigating 17 athletes after its biological passport program turned up evidence of possible doping<\/a>. Thomas Capdevielle, the organization’s medical and anti-doping results manager, said that 19 athletes had already been sanctioned under the program. The biological passport program, which creates a blood profile of athletes to monitor them for unusual spikes in chemistry that could arise from doping, is also in use by tennis and cycling’s governing bodies.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes on the heels of the IAAF’s announcement that it is planning to establish a testing station in Kenya’s El Doret region. According to Capdevielle, the organization currently monitors about 150 Kenyan runners under the program.<\/p>\n
