Human beings are aerobic organisms. Anything that will help maximize that
metabolic component will help athletic performance. .

Imagine how a weak and lethargic a sedentary individual feels if afflicted
with anemia. Treat them with erythropoietin and their strength comes back
and they feel invigorated and energized to excel an mundane every day tasks.

Now take a high performance athlete, were fractions of a percent in
performance can make the difference of millions of dollars, treat them with
EPO and you can't see the benefit? This should be obvious.

Incredible for a 100m athlete to take EPO.  But then again, it probably
helps more for training than competition.  Maybe Marion needs to give the
400m a shot before they yank her.  (She was supposed to run Weltklasse today
in a loaded field, but I don't want to know what happened until I watch the
WCSN video!).  She was defeated at Rome and that was her first defeat of the
year.  I don't know if she was beaten again or what.
