t-and-f: EPO and recovery

How is it that EPO enhances recovery? Perhaps someone who is doing more than speculating can answer this. Perhaps an athlete who has used, or a doctor or a scientist. I have never used the drug (or any drug), but EPO ONLY increases red blood cell concentration in the bloodstream. Since when

Yes Michael ... it makes sense ... and I understand Glycogen depletion. However, that is NOT how training works. If we take you as an example, there is natural "YOU" , and you on EPO. Once you are on EPO, your hematocrit raises from a probable 42-46% up to whatever you and your doctor want to
