  In RBaCo_{2}O_{5+x} compounds (R is rare earth) variability of the oxygen
content allows precise doping of CoO_2 planes with both types of charge
carriers. We study transport properties of doped GdBaCo_{2}O_{5+x} single
crystals and find a remarkable asymmetry in the behavior of holes and electrons
doped into a parent insulator GdBaCo_{2}O_{5.5}. Doping dependences of
resistivity, Hall response, and thermoelectric power reveal that the doped
holes greatly improve the conductivity, while the electron-doped samples always
remain poorly conducting. This doping asymmetry provides strong evidence for a
spin blockade of the electron transport in RBaCo_{2}O_{5+x}.
