I'm not sure if there's a definitive test tho catch blood doping (dead cell percentage, etc) but it doesn't seem like an easy task.

Honestly, I think its a good sign that the cheaters are only resorting to this (hopefully I'm not wrong). Back in the day, blood doping was an add on for cheaters, like fries and a coke. Now that its the main course shows there is some progress.
