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}.
