EPO Detection time?

[downinearth]

Hi

I have a question about the detection time of using EPO.

There is a guy who uses 20ui/kg every week, for 4 weeks then stopping 11 days for the competition.

I'm not sure if he is being honest with me. I would like to know from other people experience.

How can EPO be masked?
What are the things the hide or show EPO use?
If I injected glucose after the competition will it hide as it will dilute the blood?
I have read the small doses every 3 days a better then high dose weekly, is that right?

EPO has a half life of about 5-9 days. So there is a possibility your friend is telling the truth. Technically one can calculate how long the detection time would last. However, there are many factors that go into calculating the pharmacokinetics of a compound other than half life. DRUG ABSORPTION, DISTRIBUTION AND ELIMINATION; PHARMACOKINETICS

No offense but I don't feel comfortable answering any of your other questions. EPO and especially insulin are very dangerous compounds. I don't want to feel responsible when you hurt or even kill yourself from the advise I gave.

As I stated in your previous thread, Endurance steroids and detection time?, it's too soon for you to begin using performance enhancers. Your're overweight and have been training for less than 9 months. Put some hard work in like everyone else, and pay your dues.

You need to ask a cyclist
