wait:
- EPO and traces of EPO don't stay in the blood if you leave it in your body and keep filtering that blood thourgh your kidneys?
OR
- EPO and traces of EPO don't stay in your blood if you have your blood drawn and frozen in litle vials?
If only the first scenario is true, then -- in theory -- they have blood stored from these guys from previous races. As medical technology improves it will be easier and easier to go back and tell who was doping.
Doesn't resolve tomorrow's issue but it could make for some interesting research.
