"The average life span of a red blood cell is 90 to 120 days. Runners are often able to train harder and perform better for several weeks after they return from about a month-long stay at altitude because their blood still contains the extra blood cells that were produced when they were training at high altitudes. Runners who trained at high altitudes will have more red blood cells than runners who did not train at high altitudes"

Training at high altitude goes away quick, and while EPO goes away quick you can use it when you need to to in effect get the benefit of months of hard training at altitude. Not to mention the horrible life shortening side effects of EPO which should be enough to ban it right there wihtout a Dr. saying you need it.

You can train for months at high altitude and two days later your blood oxygen level will be the same.

Read the above bold.

Read the above bold.

Blood cycles through the system quickly, there is a reason you need to breath every couple seconds and it has to do with oxygen in the blood~

High altitude training is one of the most useless things in the world unless you are training at altitucde for an event at altitude and never leave that area. Not to mention it is a pain in the ass to do that.

Since everybody seems so anti PED lately, I was just wondering what their take on this is.

Lately? People have been against PED's for a while now buddy. Where've you been, under a rock? This is nothing new, this didn't just started with Manny Pacquiao man. Just a heads up.

So then should altitude simulators be illegal then since it gives u the same results as EPO, and neither one require any training?

Clever response to a desperate topic. I don't know but it doesn't excuse doping.

High altitude training is natural!!! It is not injected or artificially made. It is not 1 and the same as epo. Your body actually has to adapt and respond to the altitude naturally mind u...with epo your body adapts to artificial injections which makes it unnatural

This right here is a good post.
