Do they test for EPO in big HS meets?

That would be a hell of a lot of money to pay for 20 seconds when that 20 seconds won't make you any money.

Maybe I get it now: half this board thinks that everyone is taking drugs because they have no qualms with being a drug cheat themselves.

Scholarship+school of my choice

So how would you think you would be able to get your EPO. Pretty much imposable

Do you know a lot about EPO? Just curious if you knew how much to take, and how often, so that you can get the scholarship you won't be able to hold onto in college, vs. how much will give you a blood clot and kill you.

In Texas, you'll get the chair. They test now, for everything. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzap. The Cowtown Marathon races have drug tests now, why not HS.

Besides, it's state law. EOTHWAWKI, amerikan footballers!

they can\\\'t test for it. they would have to have a prior sample of your blood and then test your current sample and compare your blood cell levels. i am pretty sure if you were to use EPO in college the tests won\\\'t pick is up either. all college testing is piss test which can\\\'t detect EPO...BUT IT CAN ALSO KILL YOU. so i doubt its worth 20 seconds of your 5k.

No it's very easy. Just do a search online. If you know people who use they can help you find a reliable source as well.

And one beer will kill you, right? I plan to keep my hematocrit under 55. It's normally about 43.

Epo usually is undetectable after about 6 hours. Which means dont take it day of your race. however i can think of many health reasons not to take it........ blood clots, stroke, ware on your heart/blood vessels. exc

If he keeps his hematocrit under 55, the risk of that occuring is probably not statistically greater than if he took no EPO whatsoever. In fact, provided he uses clean needles and injects under clean skin, it's simply not "risky" in the conventional physical sense, when compared to driving a car, swimming, etc.

Obviously, there are other arguments one can use to oppose doping, at least in HS athletes, where far fewer athletes dope than at the Olympic/Tour De France, etc. level.

it's funny how the administrators can get your IP and give it to the right authorities should they choose.

Hope you're not posting from your parents computer bud.

No I'm not. What authorities would those be, btw?

They can't get that specific.

They can get specific enough to determine which IP address you're using, and find out which ISP owns that block of addresses. That's actually very simple.

From there, the ISP should be able to provide records of what home was leased that IP address at the time of the posting. Now, making the ISP give up the information is a whole other matter. I have no idea about what authorities one would contact (DEA comes to mind), and I imagine it might take a court order for the ISP to hand over those records, but they most definitely can get that specific.

Now that's all assuming the brojos could get his actual IP and he's not using some anonymizer service. If he is, court orders might still get what they need, but who knows. Unless you're making use of some proxy servers outside the US, I wouldn't count on any anonymity online. Come to think of it, I wouldn't bank on it even then.

That all said, this kids's probably a troll anyway.

What's the guy done wrong?

If I say 'What would happen to me if I went on a racist killing spree in Texas and got caught?' Does that mean I'm going to get 100 cops outside my house this afternoon?

someone even posted a link the other day, but hey don't go there, be like me work hard at your training, take the hits and you'll get there, unless of course you're not cut out to run fast and then even the big boosters won't help you.

Probably a lot sooner than that.
