Not for the fainthearted, this is a very sophisticated dialysis process, to remove things from the bloodstream, if you can't afford to have them there... diuretics, pseudoephedrine, tetra-hydrocannabinol, caffeine, stanozolol, turtle blood extracts, erythropoetin(EPO), cocaine hydrochloride, etc...

       + for turtle blood extracts.

       Is it possible to safely and effectively remove all those chemicals from blood without damaging it? Also, do these chemicals stay in the blood stream rather than spreading through the whole body, which would allow them to leach back into the blood when the cleaning was done? And mightn't it be easier to find half a dozen people, get some of their blood, and use it to replace your own?

       I thought THC tended to be stored in the fatty deposits in the body rather than just the bloodstream. Also, would urinalysis still be effective even after a blood cleasning?

       Isn't this what Keith Richards does at those fancy Swiss clinics? Nice category, btw.

       Some can be dialyzed and some cannot. This info is available on the chemical by chemical basis - useful for treating poisonings.

       True, but there also ways to simulate biometabolic processes, to remove some other contaminants.   

       I picked dialysis because it would get most of those that turn up in urine analysis. After all, the urinary system is the body's exit path for renal byproducts.   

       This may only be within the means of professional athletes, Charlie Sheen and Robert Downey Jr, but I'd bet you'd make a killing if you got it to market.

       Why would you want to remove all these wonderful substances? I like my contaminated blood just the way it is.

       So you can keep your gold medals.

       Or stay out of jail / treatment.
