Biological Passport

"Biological passport" is a term being used by antidoping watchdogs in the world of sports. It refers to a blood profile of an athlete, which is compared with a baseline to see if he or she is employing some banned additive for a competitive edge, which is of course what athletes have always done, more or less, haven't they?

Biological passport.

As you know, The Laughorist is constantly alert to new and delicious words or phrases. I'm a one-man lowercase wordie, the way some call themselves foodies.

Biological passport.

Does it give me entry to another biological country hitherto forbidden?

Does a biological passport (with the proper visa) offer something meta-logical in the realm of life as we know it?

Is it the sine qua non of life embedded into our DNA at the moment of conception?

Alternatively, is it death, our transport to another realm beyond this one?

Who stamps the biological passport?

Who are its border guards, the polizei of polarity?

How do you apply for a biological passport, and what happens if your application is turned down?

Think USSR on this one, and it will make more sense.... ;o)
