The kick-off of the ABP-programme 1/2 • Idea was born at the EA Junior Championships in 2011 in Tallinn, thanks to Giuseppe Fischetto • Additional budget increase enabled to create a regular basis for ABPtests • Basic resources were covered: DCOs and BCOs, blood collection and storing equipment, lab (Helsinki, Finland), test data inserted in ADAMS • Basic knowledge was missing: whom to test, when to test, which testing pattern to use and who are the experts in analysing/interpretation of the test results
The kick-off of the ABP-programme 2/2 • As APMU-service was limited, cooperation started off with the IFs (IAAF, FIS, IBU) • Started small, it was planned to include 5 athletes into ABP from different disciplines (cross-country skiing, long-distance running, rowing) • ABP-testing began in February in 2012 involving 5 athletes (athletics, cycling) test planning in cooperation with IFs • 4 additional athletes were included in 2013 (cross-country skiing, triathlon)
ABP-programme today • Alltogether 29 athletes (2016) • Increased cooperation and information sharing with IFs, during precompetition testing and also training camps outside Estonia • NAPMU, gratitudes to Jenny Schulze • Lab in Kreischa, Germany • Daily use of ADAMS • External expert Sergei Iljukov • Following TDSSA, asked for a reduction in MLAs (rowing, crosscountry skiing and long-distance running)
ABP-case • 7 OOC doping tests of the Athlete between April 16 – November 7, 2013; abnormal 99,9% • IF informed EADA about ADRV on December 20, 2014 • IF requested the application of four years’ ineligibility: • use of doping on multiple occasions • participation in the use of doping as part of a doping plan or scheme
• The expert panel: prohibited substance or method highly probable
ABP-case • The decision of the Estonian Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel: an ineligibility period of two (2) years and to annul all results obtained by the athlete from April 16, 2013 • The athlete appealed the decision, but the Appeal Panel decided to leave the decision of the Disciplinary Panel unchanged.

Challenge, solutions? The speed-time relationship is a core of the critical power concept and is expressed as the equation: T = (D-W`)/CS Where, T is time (s), D is race distance (m), W` is anaerobic work capacity, and CS is critical speed (m/s).
