I might be wrong but I think that's what Lance Armstrong was 'taking' when he was producing his world beating performances.

I had EPO injections at a time when my kidneys were extremely poorly. It gave me more energy.

Yes, I have just done a search. He was linked with it. But the official story is that it doesn't improve performance.

When I was prescribed it I hadn't heard the Lance Armstrong story, but I did seem to receive an energy boost.

Coincidence?
