Two points:

1) I was talking about the taking of it, not the effective use.  All I was
saying is it is easier to take something than to create reliable tests for
its presence.

2) I made no mention of EPO in the post, as I was talking in the most
general of terms about intake and testing.  As such, the complications of
EPO specifically are not really relevant.
