No, there is no way you can see blood doping/Epo physically.

I guess the closest to seeing it is if you see fat guys or guys with big, bulging muscles go 5 rds And still looking Ok.

The real Lance Armstrong of MMA. Never forget he wanted to use Vada for Hendricks but then Hendricks doubled down with WADA which is more stringent. Then GSPs camp calling in to find out ever little substance they test for. If GSP didn't actually juice, he was taking stuff in a grey area.

lol more shertard bullshit
WADA is an organization that sets the rules. they don't test, they don't collect samples
VADA is an org that tests people and follow WADA protocols and test at WADA labs

the science doesn't lie bro

There are over a couple dozen possible causes. For instance, here is the Mayo Clinic web page on it (the Mayo Clinic is one of the best hospitals in the world):

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gynecomastia/symptoms-causes/syc-20351793

You can see they list quite a few medications (including anabolic steroids and androgens, anti-depressants, antibiotics and a few more but not including EPO), as well as street drugs and alcohol (including marijuana), and about ten health conditions (including aging). Basically anyone who sees gynecomastia and thinks it has to be EPO (or even steroids) is either trolling or is too ignorant about it to be taken seriously.

Bro-science says its steroids. Medical science says it can be one or more of over two dozen things. So ask yourself, if you were in an accident, or came down with a serious illness, would you go to a hospital for help, or to a gym locker -- that is, do you trust medical science or bro-science?

I don't think so, but I am not an expert. From what I know and read, EPO increases red blood cells which carry more oxygen to the muscles which gives the user more endurance.

THIS. EPO is/was heavily used in the "sport" of cycling. Lance Armstrong and all those cheats used EPO and they were rail thin and not heavily muscled. It helps with endurance by allowing your blood to carry more oxygen.
