Just watched a video of a pro triathlete, could be anyone really, it is not important and he was using an hypoxic tent which is exactly as training at altitude which is viewed by everyone as fine. However the goal is to produce more EPO "naturally" and increase hematocrit.
But without being a bunch of hypocrites... How is it really different than injecting EPO with a syringe?
I know you can over use the injections and increase the hct way over the normals and cause blood clots and strokes but hypoxic tents and injections in a controlled manner is going to give the same results and dangers.
So why is it that hypoxic tents are still legal? I know there's the whole debate that those living at altitude would be at an advantage but then again, why is EPO in a controlled setting illegal? Essentially, it all is the same.
Thoughts?
