PFT CommenterPregnancy is technically a performance enhancing drug for athletes
Serena Williams how she got pregnant and how being pregnant is technically a performance enhancing drug because she has more blood in her system because she's not on the dot anymore and since she has more blood she's got more red blood cells which means she's circulating oxygen at a higher rate.
While pregnancy does increase blood volume, it is not classified as a PED by any sporting agency and brings significant physical challenges.
