Blood Doping & EPO
The main goal of Blood Doping and EPO is to increase the red blood cells to increase
Endurance
and aerobic capacity for the athlete via oxygen to the lungs and then to the muscles The first way would be to have your blood drawn a month before the event then reinjected the night before the event. There should be a couples weeks in between because it leaves you anemic. The military used this technique before missions and battles starting in 1993The next way is to use erythropoietin or EPO is a naturally occuring growth horomone. Which can be in pill or injected and can produce more red blood cells and is becoming popular among endurance athletes. And the next way would be to train in high altitudes like the U.S Olympic team in Colorado.I was first aware of this when i moved to western Canada from central Canada and then back. Soon after i saw an ufc all access with Tito Ortiz which explained that. Then a few years later i saw
Bigger, Stronger, Faster
Now i've been seeing in Bodybuilding magazine is Nitric Oxide with EPO. I've yet to try but if anyone does blog about it on my site
