EPO and irony

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/KzNcIF-bfgiWeqWp24NkG9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink

or in text version, there was an ad on bike route toaster this evening:

EPO Cyclist Supplements

Fastest way to increase your speed and endurance. Guaranteed!

Ok, I've been reading USADA's docs, and I daresay the ad network bike route toaster sell space to don't care what site you're on, but really...

It's kind of disturbing, especially since I can't conceive of how or where the site promoted might be legal or appropriate. Or is it a trap?

If you are that worried about being caught as a potential doper, route your IP through a few proxies in different countries to check out the sites. Just don't buy and have it delivered to your own address  19

Ah, so not actually supplying EPO, which is what the url implied to me, as in boost performance using EPO, not boost EPO production.

I guess my response shows how effective their choice of URL and advertising isn't as I was not even prepared to visit the site presuming the worst, i.e. that it was a trap site to identify potential dopers.

You'd think with all the negative publicity for EPO at the moment they might consider a rebrand  39

Its not a trick or anything and it is used by some top athletes because its a natural EPO stimulator
