Maybe it's a bit out of the Clinic's topics, but I was absolutely psyched by what you can find in 3 minutes on chinese sites about EPO : dosages, risks, avoiding positive tests, just a few clicks and bitcoins payment... No need to call Ferrari...
This is just crazy.

EPO is actually not that dangerous a product to use if it is used PROPERLY, and one's blood is monitored. With proper blood work, and boosting to a safe level (typically max of 53-54% for elite level endurance athlete, while it's around 40% for "normal" people) there shouldn't be major complications. But do not cross that line.
Take one tab of aspirin two times a day after meal or along with milk to prevent stomach damages (milk neutralizes aspirin acids). Aspirin will decrease blood viscosity thus decreasing risks of thrombosis which could be fatal during the long race due to sweating and extreme dehydration.
Unfortunately, testing technology has now notably improved. There are now accurate urine and blood tests that can detect the differences between normal and synthetic EPO. This test became the standard one and was the sole means to detect for EPO use in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. The reliability of this test helps explain the cascade of athletes who have been caught. Therefore, at the present, athlete must consider "window" - just like with steroid use - when chances to detect falls down, but effect is still considerable. I.e. at the moment of competition, EPO should move out of the system but red blood cells should be still in.
There are short-acting and long-acting types of EPO (we offer short-acting version).
