I'd love to know more about the biology, and about the testing --
the article only says "two distinctive types of red blood cells".
I know nothing about biology, and am not entirely convinced that we
know everything there is to know about biology. I may be talking out
of my ****, but I wonder if elite athletes are who they are because
their body is able to change its chemistry in response to external
stimulus -- self healing in a respect.
It would be really embarrasing, now that Vino is back home, if the B
sample came back negative.
