Answer
In 2013, former Tour de France champion Jan Ullrich admitted to blood doping. Blood doping is a form of doping in which an athlete receives a transfusion of blood from another person. This can increase the athlete's hematocrit, which is the percentage of red blood cells in the blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the muscles, so increasing the hematocrit can improve an athlete's endurance.
