It's a bit frightening how much it can improve your performance.
It really does seem like it can make you almost super-human:

Hi

I have a question about EPO... My physician asks me for regular Hemogram exams (Complete blood Count) during the year. In the results there is column with my hematocrit %.

Im confused because it is a really straight foward exam and not an expensive one, so why people say it is so difficult to detect EPO ? And they say not all laboratories are capable of detecting Epo ?

Thank you

hCT ratio is NOT an EPO test.

hCT is not necessarily a performance indictor (a high hct could mean dehydration)

Blood boosting is the key. There are many ways to boost sustainable endurance power. EPO is just one doping idea.
