bilby commented on the word haematocrit
"Testosterone or Epo can be taken during training without worry, they are traceable for only 48 hours but they still work intensively for days afterwards – on match days, too, on which there are hardly any blood tests like during the World Cup. It’s humbug to call the World Cup clean: A raised haematocritic value isn’t noticed if nobody measures it."
