I'm assuming to obtain EPO in the US you need a Dr.'s prescription and from what I gather, EPO is rather expensive. I was talking with a friend and he told me that EPO can be purchased very easily without a Dr.'s prescription in many foreign countries and in most cases, at a much lower price. Is this true? Does this mean that someone like "JasonInChina" can go to the local pharmacy in Lijiang, China and purchase EPO without a prescription? I'm not trying to make any accusations. Just curious.
