OLYMPIC silver medallist Mitchell Watt says the AFL may have to build a biological blood profile for all players if it is determined to keep the game clean.
Watt yesterday told the Herald Sun he was tested for performance-enhancing drugs up to 10 times in a two-month European system.
He also has blood taken as often as every six months so the World Anti-Doping Agency can build a blood profile for him.
Watt said football codes would be naive not to think the same problems that were in track and field had not infiltrated their sports.
More than 50 AFL players have been target-tested by the AFL, but many are not tested at all in a season.
"I think anything we can do to help level the playing field people should be all for," Watt said.
"Blood passports involve a two-minute blood test and you only have to do it once or twice a year. I am surprised it's common practice for track and field, but not in football codes.
"I have got my blood taken every year for the past three years, and it measures different kinds of cells and hormones and matches them with the following year's result.
"Everyone in Australian sport is so laid back and you think if someone is a good bloke they wouldn't do it. But there will always be a percentage of people who will cheat. It's naive to think it doesn't happen in football codes."
