“New blood test promises doping breakthrough”
First of all this isn’t an entertaining article, but either way is interesting know what’s new in sport, especially in the way that it’s judged, specifically in the part that sportsmen can cheat: The doping.
This article talks about a new test for previously undetectable blood transfusions to analyse blood samples. The world Anti-Doping agency confirmed that the new test was in the offing but not would say if it had been approved, because if they indicate when is the test ready, the athletes would be warned. They’re looking for a method to reveal “autologous blood transfusion” because it hasn’t been implemented.
The autologous blood transfusion involve the removal and re-injection of an athlete’s own blood and was previously undetectable, a test for that exist since 2000 but it hasn’t been implemented.
With the test implemented the International Olympic Committee and all the organizations could do more exhaustive tests of doping to be anticipated to the creation and marketing of different products that improve the sportsmen's performances.
The idea isn’t only develop the test for autologous but with the introduction of the “Athlete’s passport” tracking their blood values. With that they will track any variation on the athlete’s blood. So the discussion is about the legal terms and the approbation of the test.

I think that improving the ways that Organizations ands Committees of any sport detect the doping – a very bad way to try to win a competition- is a great way to make the sports more competitive and avoid any kind of cheating. Personally i consider myself a sportsman and i believe in the sportsmanship and the value of victory obtained whit your owns skills. If there are people that thinks only in be victorious and win any competition at any price even using pills and others things to improve their performances they must be separated through the doping. That will help to increase the sportsmanship and creates a institution of values in the persons that really do sports for more than a victory

Alright. This summary is a bit on the long side--I would try to be more succinct next time--but I like your analysis of the situation. I have not given a lot of thought to sportsmanship before.
Here are some corrections:
First of all this isn’t an entertaining article, but either way, *it* is interesting *to* know what’s new in sport, in the way that it’s judged *and especially in regard to how sportsmen cheat by doping.*
(Sorry, that´s just not a good sentence to end with a colon because it already has several ideas. If you wanted to end the paragraph with ": doping", you could split up that first sentence into two smaller ones:
"First of all, this isn´t an entertaining article, but either way it is interesting to know what´s new in sport, like the way it´s judged or how cheating is addressed. I am especially interested in the method most sportsmen use to cheat today: doping."
I agree with Crystal ... maybe your summary is too long, but overall it's ok.
Quite interesting this idea of the undetectable doppings and stuffS. And very useful for you when you play basketball. Ahahahahaha
See you.
