Ten years ago, they didn't have a test for EPO. Now they do, and evidence suggests that EPO's use is harmful to the horse. That there was not a test for it ten years shouldn't mean that the trainers that used it back then were doing something that was OK.

Those glorious EPO days when horses rebroke during the race....And Lance Armstrong won at will. Those were the days.
