my other 11 EPO tests in 1999 not produce a positiive?"

Why? Because you probably only juiced it 6 times. Once before each
crucial stage of the race. It actually makes even MORE sense that you
only tested positive 6 times.

Except that EPO is not a wunder-drug that takes effect immediately, suddenly
giving the recipient a whole slew of new red blood cells. It takes time to
work.

Very true. In my own experience, it took 3 weeks to raise my crit 7 points
with EPO, 6 weeks to go up 15 points.
