She may have understandably gone a bit over the top. Doubts weren't erased, but she stayed under the screen on the second test, anyway.

Which makes sense. And if I could get EPO prior to climbing a mountain, I'd take it. In a heartbeat. And that's just for the heck of it, not for contracts and endorsements worth millions.
