Altitude does the same thing. It boosts epo production in the body

Yeah but differently to how chemicals will boost it. Which is what the blood work detects.

Right okay. I haven't read the full bio passport testing protocol.

@andyp it says in the article he had the epo he bought tested.

Me either.

This study seems to indicate there is provision for dealing with athletes that have higher EPO scores due to recent altitude training, so I guess they know the thresholds for certain types of EPO production stimulus.
