What are side effects of Blood Doping?
Blood Doping makes the blood thick due to the unnatural amount of red blood cells. This can cause heart failure.
What's a legal way of training without using blood doping?
High Altitude Training. Since more red blood cells are created in the need of oxygen. The body then takes a long time to adapt back to normal at sea level.
