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.
