  1. If the bags of blood found in puerto are RBC's how can they test for DNA ?
    RBC's have no nuclei, no DNA ? Also how can they test the bags for EPO ? In
    the urine test the synthetic is untraceable after about 4 days. But the
    increase in hemocrit is stronger weeks later. Would there be any EPO in the
    blood in the bags after all these months ? Also I have never heard of a
    blood test for EPO anyway. If all they have is bags of blood, even if they
    are connected to Ullrich or any other athlete, how do they prove doping ?
    That would be to assume the bags were for doping. The tests are not being
    run on blood from Ullrichs or any other athletes body. Awful lot of
    assumption here to pin anyone to guilt. .

    It's cuz the bags of blood are almost certainly packed BC's, so they include
    both RBC's and WBC's.

  3. I guessed that only RBC's would be added to the blood stream to get the
    benefit. Wouldn't all the other cells be useless and take up room with no
    benefit ? Wouldnt they want to save the space for more RBC"s Thanks Scott

    You think they'd be going to the trouble to use leukoreduced blood? Even if
    they did, and I'd be surprised if they did, there are always a few residual
    WBC's left behind. It doesn't take many WBC's to be able to do DNA testing.
