It says that Barca is allowed to use the players own blood to reduce injury time. The blood is given where the injury is...

The doctor tells that the injury times goes from 3-4 weeks to 8-10 days..

With our injury history and proned players, should'nt we give it a try at spurs.


"The doping rumors are just that rumors not based in fact of any kind. Nadal is having PRT treatment on his tendonitis. Here is what Dr. Michael Sanchez state on the subject. Listen up rumor-mongers.

Dr. Mikel Sánchez said...
We use this treatment in all kinds of patients and also in athletes. We are very well aware of the anti-doping regulations. About a month ago, we were invited to join a committee of 20 medical experts in Lausanne to study the different applications of this treatment under the tutelage of the IOC and the WADA.

PRPs cannot be used in muscle injuries, but its use in tendinopathies is allowed after completing a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) document. In fact, some representatives of the spanish anti-doping agency and the spanish olympic committee visited Dr. Eduardo Anitua´s research center in Vitoria, and granted us permission to use this treatment in this particular athlete.

I insist on the fact that the PRGF® is the best characterized PRP in the literature. I really don´t see how, from a scientific point of view, several infiltrations inside the tendon of an athlete can enhance performance. Maybe ignorance can lead to this conclusion.

Our protocols in the treatment of tendinopathies are sufficiently published in the literature. We would like people to be more cautious when mentioning doping subliminally. It is a very severe accusation to be made thoughtlessly. It is surprising to see how easy rumors and propaganda in non-specialized press cast a shadow of doubt over our medical practice.

We are present in every scientific forum we are invited to but we never argue or comment on our patient´s medical records without their consent.

With this letter we want to put and end to our participation in this discussion. We are at your disposal should any colleague require any additional information about our use of PRGF® in different pathologies.

Please send your questions to: [email protected]

Sincerely,

Dr. Mikel Sánchez

Enough said."

I hope someone at Spurs hands this to the medical team and they aren't too arrogant to check it out themselves

I wonder if this is similar to when the cyclists were having their blood taken out, mixed with oxygen, and put back in. Modern sports science and the lengths clubs go to to keep their players fit is outrageous.

That's different in that its used before certain stages like mountain climbs to boost the bodies ability to absord O2.
