They did evaluate relevant doses, but:
- the riders trainerd only 5 hours per week on average
- it was tested on a single ride up the mont ventoux
In other words, the effect if training much more or during a full season
competition was not measured. A Dutch ex-rider who is now journalist also
pulled himself out of the research team because of this.
Anyway, don't trust the Dutch 😉 and don't cancel any orders...

Hi Guys
You may cancel your standing EPO orders. It is not worth it 😉

Press release:
The Lancet Haematology:
For amateur cyclists, EPO blood doping may have little effect on real-world
road race performance
The Lancet Haematology: For amateur cyclists, EPO blood doping may have
little effect on real-world road race performance
While performance was improved in high intensity tests, endurance and road
race performances were similar for EPO group and placebo.
For well-trained non-professional cyclists, the performance enhancing drug
rHuEPO (recombinant human erythropoietin) appears to have a small effect on
high intensity laboratory cycling tests, but the performance enhancing
effects were mostly undetectable in a laboratory time trial test and an
endurance road-race up Mont Ventoux (France), according to a new study.
Read the press release
In this double blind, randomised trial, half (24) of the participants were
given weekly injections of rHuEPO, and half (24) were given a placebo
(saline solution) over 8 weeks. The trial involved a series of tests to
evaluate different types of performance parameters.
How was the effect of EPO on cycling performance investigated? Watch the
movie here
The final test involved a 110km cycle followed by a 21.5 km road-race up
Mont Ventoux, which often features in the Tour de France race - View the
gallery.
