It warms my heart to know that "'There is a very good chance that hematide will be detectable this year....'" :) Lucky for all the grand tour participants that 'this year' didn't come in time for said tours! At least I don't suspect Dopestrong of jumping on the Hematide bandwagon; his performance this year was middling, at best. Perhaps he could have won this one clean, after all. :D

That'd be F'ed up if someone has already cheated with it as it sounds like it hasn't really even been approved for medical use yet.

Guys were getting caught with PFC, Aranesp and other forms of EPO ahead of approval... Have been for years...

The doping trade has always been ahead of testing.

Just sayin it's F'ed up.. if it hasn't finished medical approval they're just guessing what's safe to take I bet.

Methinks safety isn't exactly high on their list of priorities when considering whether to juice.
