Doping

Hey Hopeful!

Very interesting -- and highly appropriate to be thinking about athletic doping, since we're in the midst of the Tour de France.

I didn't know that the high-altitude thing was a natural way to increase EPO. Mine tested high previously, so it might not help, but I do plan to see about having it tested again.

If I'm going for the high-altitude thing, though, I might prefer a nice six-month vacation in Aspen. I'll have to speak with my boss and insurance company to see if I can work that out!

Take care!

Greg
