Post a Comment On: Transplant Athlete

I don't know if this is true or not, but RoadBikeRider is reporting that pro cyclists are using a common ingredient in Laundry detergent to clear their urine of EPO. The problem is that it gets rid of all the EPO in the sample (including the EPO that is produced by the body and is supposed to be there) and several riders including Jan Ulrich have been found to have urine devoid of any EPO. Obviously the only people who would need to clear their urine of EPO are those who are doping.

There is truly no joy in Mudville tonight.
